Getting my ass kicked by my first day in the ER
 

So today was my official first day of med school clerkships, where I was assigned the dreaded pager-that-will-now-control-my-life and my resident threw me into the ER and had me admit patients. Needless to say, treating actual patients is VERY different than reading Harrison's Guide to Internal Medicine, and I got my ass handed to me when I admitted my first patient, a 59 year old lady with a-fib, and I realized how little I know.

I thought I was going to be studying less now that I no longer have lectures, but I guess I was dead wrong. So I'll now have to extend my Fiesta hiatus into a Fiesta AND FiestaFan forums hiatus, which sucks because it's been great fun reading everyone's crazy posts haha.

See you guys later!

Maybe this will help you in the ER!


Ookie maybe not.... XD

Haha.

or this :D

xD

Good luck!

Sounds scary. @_@" Good luck!

Well, real life>Fiesta life, at least you can make that choice. Some people seem to choose the opposite.

Well, good luck with your ER work.

ooh good luck Ulrike. I wish you all the best. I know it takes a lot of patience. But, it will all be worth it in the end.

Good luck to you.
