| | Why does ACLS (adv. cardiac life support) training take two days? I wish I would have remembered to take the recertification course (4 hrs) instead of letting my certification lapse and having to take this stupid-long one. Anyway, when the psychiatrist is running a code, you know you're in trouble. On the plus side, I learned two cool things about the UM hospital today. 1) track lights on the ceiling guide you to the code (so, try to casually saunter in the opposite direction) and 2) the elevators ding twice when going down, once when going up (no more rushing an elevator going the wrong direction).
I like all my colleagues so far. When I interviewed, the program director specifically stated that things like AOA (medical honors society) or a 4.0 GPA were *potential* red flags - possibly rabid gunners or prima donnas. Guess we'll see how that works out soon enough. Anyway, I've organized a dinner on Saturday (Ethiopian food). Wonder how many people will show up! There are some serious foodies in the group, so I'm hoping we can have occasional dinner parties when I get my apartment fixed up.
Visited the Planet Rock gym with Michael while he was here. Seriously, this gym makes my old one look like a kid's playground. There's this cool-looking stalactite in the corner, but I don't know how to lead-climb (or belay) yet. I love it, but I probably won't have much time to go climbing these first few months. They keep us pretty busy at the VA, where I'm starting on Wednesday. Wish me luck. :)
