General surgery rotation x 2mos was a success!  It was tiring, but the residents made it pretty fun :)
What better way to end a rotation than with good food and a good ol' pumpkin party!


 

  
  This is Dr. Williams and Armaal!  I didn't really scrub in much w/ Williams, but whenever I scrubbed in w/Dr. Carrillo, I could always depend on Armaal and Aleks to help me out! If you ever get the chance, scrub in on an open heart case.  It's the best!

3rd yr. rotations started last July.  So far I've completed Geriatrics, and 1/2 month of psych and 1/2 month of family med.  It's been good so far.  The 1st month of geriatrics was in Pompano, so I had the priviledge to live on Pompano Beach at Grandma's condo!!  It was a great feeling coming home just before sunset, walking across the street and digging my toes in the sand.  Grandma and I had our daily ritual of eating dinner, atching Jeopardy and chewin' the fat in b/w commercials.  It was nice and homey ^.^
For these last two months, I've had my weekends off to relax and be a bum and/or study.  I need to do more studying...but shopping and going out somehow seem more appealing ;)
Here are a few updates:

After taking care of some "business", I was having a little chat with the roommate...asking her whether she was having some GI issues.  "Well, not so much"...then suddenly she darts off in the the other direction.  It hit!!!
Something is giving me and the roommate the runs. 

Apparently it's not the basil:
"Traditionally, basil has been used as a medicinal plant in treatment of headaches, coughs, diarrhea, constipation, warts, worms, and kidney malfunctions. "

Maybe it was the cheesecake:
"Though you may be tempted, you should also avoid cheesecakes and meringue pies while in Nepal. Salmonella bacteria favor these two items." We're not in Nepal, but Salmonella's everywhere!!

Maybe it was the pre-made chicken strips laced with arsenic?!
"FOR ENVIRONMENTALISTS and some public health experts, one of the most puzzling practices of modern agriculture is the addition of arsenic-based compounds to most chicken feed."
...then again it was Tyson's brand...but Tyson's can still have E.coli!!

or Maybe it's a minor case of Batten's Farms strawberries:
"It feels like the worst case of Montezuma's revenge you've ever had. Stomach cramps. Vomiting. Diarrhea that persists for days, if not weeks. The culprit? It could be raw vegetables, a fruit salad or those juicy fresh strawberries you just ate. At least that's what health officials were saying last week, when they announced that over the past two months a few hundred people in the U.S. and Canada have been stricken with a new and mysterious intestinal infection. So far, no deaths have been reported, although a few people have been hospitalized for severe dehydration. But what baffles the experts is how a rare illness that was once seen only in places like Peru and Nepal has managed to spread so quickly in such far-flung cities as New York, Houston, Palm Beach, Florida, and Toronto."
...then again that story was from 1996...hahah

A whole entry on poo-related issues.  Excellent...
Well, aren't you relieved I informed you?! I know I am.... hahahahahaha I thoroughly enjoyed writing this entry.

This man is my hero.  Sometimes you just want to know why things happen...Dr. Edward Goljan is the pathology expert.  His notes are great! When I find something that may interest a wider audience (other than myself), I will post it.  Until next time...
