My Patient population

I'm kind of stoked about ONE thing about this job.
The diversity of cases I see.

I have had patients with Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, post MI, Post surgical procedures ranging from Craniotomies, hip replacement, duodenal resetions, below the knee amputations...you name it.

Last night I had a patient that was relapsing (? possibly) from Myesthenia Gravis, and the other guy had a ruptured appendix and was status post Laproscopic procedure...his peritonitis was crazy. You can imagine having a peritoneum full of shit--ugh.

Still, I know anesthesia is for me, because I get so stoked when I see a PCA pump...I want to know everything about it!!

On the bad side, my friends back in New York are posting complaints about the Policy class I have to take either this fall or spring of next year, on TOP of advanced Pharm and another class... NOT looking forward to this!
