IM: Call on the First Day

Welcome back to JPS. This is my third time here, and I saw lots of familiar faces at orientation this morning. Angela and I are paired together on Team A, with Dr. L as attending. All I've heard about him is that he's nice but has his students write really long H&Ps and progress notes, but hopefully the hours are decent. Venessa is back from Corpus to do her last month of IM here in town; part of the reason is that the 2nd years' boot party is coming up and she wanted to be with her bf. In fact, she told us she demanded that Dr. B let her do her rotation in town b/c one of the hospitals in Corpus closed or something and they weren't learning anything. Wow. Still, I'm pretty sure the main reason for her coming here is her bf.

When we got our schedules, I was dismayed to find that I'm on call tonight. How on earth did I get so "lucky" as to be on call on my first day at both Methodist and JPS? *sigh* Fortunately call doesn't officially start until 2:30, so my 3rd year resident said we could go home until then. Except I also have a meeting with Dr. D to go over the Dean's Letter at 3:00, so I'll be one hr late. I'll update more then.

of course V wants to go back home. for some reason, I thought the boot party had been done already. My slow brain didn't realize that to be the reason why she wanted to back home.
