New Beginings

Hello Blogger world. I am a 3rd year Medical Student so most of my blog will have to deal with my finger going where no finger should go. Dad would be diappointed, I have yet used his phrase, "Bend over and Smile". I often start off by saying, "This will most likely ruin your day and mine, butt mostly yours."

This blog does have hope, my wife my decided to save it from medical joy by adding her two cents and comments on our lives. We hope that does happen. Just a little about us, we moved to Chicagoland this summer and have enjoyed it so far. Winter has been mild, so far... Hope it doesnt change much. Some say we may have a white Thanksgiving. Speaking of thanksgiving our plans for this year is going to the Zoo, Edon loves the Zoo on Thanksgiving. Out of the few we have this will be the 2nd time we go to a Zoo on Turkey Day. Edon then will attempt to cook her first Turkey. I am sure it will be great.

Well, I decided I should join the blog world before it dies. I was listening to one of my favorite radio stations, in fact it is part of Bonniville Communications so it plays Music and the Spoken Word every Sunday, and they were talking about blogs and how the are no longer "hip" for lack of a better word, because the old foggies are now joining. I am a afraid that I am one of the reasons why blogs are becoming less and less hip.

Today I had an interesting day in the world of medical student peon. I acted like a ECG and phelbotimist. No one came in for ECGs but I had to draw blood on 6 patients. No worries I only used 6 needles and 6 sticks. I do not know how many hematomas I may have caused. I have enjoyed this past 12 weeks of Internal Medicine. Dr. Murthy has wanted up to have a hands on expierience and has had us go from clinic to ER to ICU and then place and remove NG tubes, Foleys, and IVs. I have learned something new each day. December 3, I start OB/GYN, at least I won't have to stick my finger up some dude's butt.

My goal is like Dave's to post once a week, most likely that wont happen but between Edon and I we could do it every other week.
