I was a bit skeptical
about working with infants….the little ones scare me.
I have some distant
memory of night float two weeks ago. I recall the nights were full of
admissions. I recall having somewhere between 7 and 8 patients every single day
this week. I recall being happy to go to work every day. I recall getting back
home really exhausted, with a smile on my face.
It is not that I have not felt overwhelmed because I have. I
have felt silly, had moments of sadness, felt really stressed out but…. I have enjoyed working with each person in a
different way. J and K were awesome seniors during night float oh and M……oh M…I
just found myself thinking how lucky can one get on night float. I was truly
reluctant to end night float. I had absolutely no envy for the day team.
I was blown away the following week. Working with JL was a pleasant
experience, I was sad to see her leave, then H came along and I fell “in work
love” with her… straight to the point.
This week I had I and M, the cartoon characters, incomplete
words, special languages with meanings lost to me and I dare say most of mankind
and a little spice of J midweek. I laughed so hard a lot of times, a few
times I felt like crying but never felt useless or like a complete idiot.
I guess this is my long-winded way of saying I (loved)4
my team. I really don’t know how or what they felt about working with me but
the past 3 weeks have undoubtedly been my happiest in residency.
Enough of all this mushy talk…..I need to go pick up my
darling husband from the train station and get some well-deserved sleep!!
