Did my weekend on-call shift today and let me tell you, waking up at seven on a Saturday morning is mightily painful. Actually, I can't remember the last time I had to wake up at 6.50am on a weekend. All of which only reaffirms my desire to make the most of my years as a student when I can slack off in the middle of the afternoon and have the weekends all for myself.
It was great though, I'm glad I did it. Plus, it was a good way to pass the time while stuck in Timaru for the weekend, otherwise I probably would have gone mad again. We had a four and a half hour ward round but the house surgeon on-call is lovely and the consultant (who I've heard horror stories about from the other med student here) was actually quite nice! He's a bit gruff, at times abrupt, his mannerisms esoteric, and he most definitely hasn't heard of the "bio psychosocial" model for contemporary medicine, however, he's one of those truely traditional, quintessential physicians in every sense of the word. The kind you imagine from 1890 who came around your place with a stethoscope and didn't need any kind of tests to figure out what was wrong. A rarity in our day and time.
Plus, he wears sneakers like House. Hehehe...
Just before venturing out into the SNOW to go home:
Me: "Thanks for letting me tag along today, [on-call house house surgeon]. It's been great."
ocHS: "Nah, that's fine. I'm sorry there hasn't been much for you to do."
Me [Inner monologue]: I don't mind cos you're gorgeous and you smell nice... mhmmm... :)
