Back home from work on the last day of my elective. I chose to fly with our AirCare aeromedical team for my month, which has been great... when we get to fly. I have been plagued by bad weather and slow nights, which is LAME! I don't remember this many rainy days in Nov-Dec last year. We had almost 3 inches of rain in Winston Salem a few days ago, I mean seriously. At least I'm good friends with most of the nurses and paramedics that work up there and they said I can come back and fly whenever I want, which is great. Not that I'll have a ton of time, but maybe an evening here and there. It's nice to know the option is there.
I'll be back in the ED starting tomorrow, on the late float shift. I'm looking forward to being back there and seeing some critical patients before I'm in the Trauma ICU at the end of January. That is one of our more difficult months, very long hours and lots of really sick people, but also one of our better ones because we learn a ton. I feel a little rusty after a month of doing something very different, but it'll will come back quickly, it always does.
yipppee! I am glad the blog is back. I missed it!
