14 Hour Days Aren’t Conducive to Blogging

But I’ve only got a few more days of this brutal rotation left and then an easier month working with Emergency Medical Services.  I’ve been saving some stories up and plan on expanding on some things I’ve posted elsewhere.  I can promise a story about a thoracotomy hopefully tomorrow or in the next few days.  Sorry again, but look at it this way.  The quieter I am now, likely means more good tales later.

Radio silence

Sorry for the relative quiet.  It’s been a bit busy and hectic around here lately.  Things are calming down a bit the end of this week and I’ve got a few stories piled up.  Look for a few updates over the next couple of days to make up for lost time.

Welcome to the Jungle

We got fun and games.  ….   Well we don’t really have fun or games here.  It’s not that type of blog.  As the header up there says, I’ll be mostly posting stories from my residency.  But my hope is that the stories will be insightful, informative and occasionally amusing.  

I tried the blog thing once a long while ago.  But that was before I was an intern with all of these exciting stories.  I’m hoping to update this at least once a week, more often if I’ve got good stories or personal insights/reflections to share.

Quick shouts to the OKP family in general for convincing me that these stories were worth telling and that I should be the one to tell them.  Special thanks to Payne for the blog name and to Rob for the inspiration of said name.  Enjoy.
