ENT: Cardiothoracic Lecture

Man...thank goodness Ben sent me a link to some surgery practice questions yesterday that Jennifer had sent out ages ago. Two of those questions appeared on today's quiz, without which I would have done very bad (case in point: I still failed the quiz). Dr. Y's questions were pretty hard. Then Dr. P came to lecture and he gave us the exact same CIL/quiz questions that we did in Cardio 2 to see how much we remembered about vascular disease. Back in 2nd year, I think I got 1/5 correct, and this year I fared no better. Sure, it wasn't for a grade, but I was still disappointed that my way of processing information hasn't improved. *sigh* Gotta study my vascular stuff.

Jacob was post-call, and he had a rough night. Valentine's Day was not good to Surgery B; there were so many traumas and deaths that he didn't get a minute of sleep last night. Natacha's on call tonight, and she asked Jacob if his team took care of all the cases so that she could get an easy night. That was just like back in ob-gyn when the day team would count on the night team to deliver lots of babies so they'd have an easier day. Jacob also told us that he knows what he wants to specialize in now (psychiatry), and we were all happy for him. I wish I knew with absolute certainty what I want to specialize in...
