This morning we had lecture at the Cancer Center downtown (very nice building, I might add) b/c it was convenient for Dr. B, and the conference room we were in had a kitchen full of sodas, iced tea, and even wine that we could help ourselves to (though I doubt anyone drank the wine). I ended up splitting a Coke with Corey b/c he said he wasn't going to drink an entire can. Afterwards Jedd and I ran into Dina in the parking lot and she gave us a ride to JPS so we wouldn't have to walk (thanks Dina!) I only saw about 2-3 patients in the general surg clinic, then went to breast clinic around 2:30 pm. To my surprise, there was only one patient left to see. BR was happy to hear that b/c with me seeing the patient, he got to go home early (not to mention the guys on my team aren't too fond of the "booby clinic") The attending was an elderly doctor from UTSW who's hunched over, but still a good teacher. My one patient had felt a lump in her breast that has since disappeared (normal mammo). We'll follow up on her with another mammo in 5 months. The best part about today: I was home by 4 pm, which almost never happens.
I asked JB if I could take off early on Friday (in other words, not stay overnight for call) and though he said yes, he asked if I had any exams coming up and pointedly asked when my shelf was. The truth is, I haven't really started studying for the shelf at all, but I didn't want to tell JB that and have him think I'm a slacker. I redeemed myself slightly today by removing a patient's staples without him telling me to, but that's small stuff. *sigh* Now I must seem like I'm lazy...
