The Happening's

I'm Exhausted!

So I just survived my second day :) I rode my bike to work, wiped the sweat from my forehead, changed into my scrubs and started scanning! I scanned yesterday too, one of the tech's handed me the probe and said, "show me what you can do." Then he drilled me on tons of stuff and I had major mental overload. I've seen one pediatric patient, two open-heart surgeries, two ER cases, one code blue, and a whole lot of ICU patients. I've scanned a cancer patient as well. I've seen stress, TEE, and saline injections. I wheel the machines everywhere in this really confusing hospital and am introduced to tons of people that I can't for the life of me remember! It's been really fun though :) I come home, talk to people on the phone, work-out, eat and sleep. I'm too tired to do anything else lol. Anyway, that's my experience so far. Hope all of yours are great too!
