Tiny stethoscopes
Today has been the worst day. ugh. I got stuck in traffic on my second day to work (yesterday I left earlier - who knew 15 min can make such a difference), then parked in the wrong lot and was 20 min late to conference. Then I had to move my car and was over an hour late to work. Insert other chaotic things. At least we had macaroni grill catered for lunch, that was awesome.
On the up side though, I am really enjoying peds cardiology! I've been surprised how interesting it is, especially because 1. I suck at cards, especially murmurs and 2. I'm mostly shadowing and have very little autonomy in this rotation. It's very cool to see interesting pathology on a daily basis, something that doesn't necessarily happen with primary care. This has been very refreshing, as I had been questioning whether or not I even wanted to specialize (primary care has been very appealing lately). I know that cards has been "the trend" lately, but I'm thinking this could possibly be a career for me. I'll have to see how the rest of the rotation goes. Meanwhile, I think I'll go study...
