dont walk and shoot
Yellow- so despite the fact that this first picture is horrible, I noticed something mildly cool... this morning I was going in a little early (dropped Brent off at the airport- he gets to leave for Cali a couple days before I do because he's the pres.)... and i just snapped this one of the hospital [that I'll have spent a total of 4 months at by the time April 30th rolls around... ] on my way in because it was still kinda dark out... now...there were a lot of people walking around me and i didn't want to stop to take the picture so i just did it mid-stride- (6:30 is kinda like the rush hour of hospitals)- and it turns out that later that morning as i was walking around doing my thing and i came to my favorite view in the hospital (picture B)- and you can actually see where I was standing when i was taking each picture from the other one... (fancy red arrows). Come to think of it- it's really not that amazing- but it was unintentional- and you can get an ok look at the hospital...
things are going well... my preceptor pretty much rocks and I'm really lucky to have gotten the chance to work with her on this rotation- there is just so much to learn from her- same could be said for last month. As a side note- we went to an 8am conference on diuretics on the other side of town and she drove us in her Infiniti FX35 (did I mention that's the vehicle I decided I'd want to look into buying if I were in a position to be looking into buying a vehicle?- which I may be in the next year or so...)... man that was awesome... I even got to ride in the front... the live built in GPS thingie, the 300 watt 11-speaker sound system, the 300-something HP engine... and I think it looks really sharp... I asked her a couple questions about it but she she seemed pretty unenthused about it- I was kinda thinking it would have been funnier if she had said
"you know, Scott... with some hard work... ALL THIS and MORE can all be yours..."
also- got to lead part of the applied therapeutics class today- it was really great... I actually got carried away and probably asked too many questions (for the p2s to answer- mooohooaahhaaaa!!) i actually asked a few questions that stumped me back when i was a p2... and it was fun to see that they had trouble with those same ones... i mean- don't get me wrong- it didn't at all feel good to make them squirm.... ok I lied- I guess it did kinda... but it wasn't on purpose! It was constructive i think- and it was something I had to go through when i was a P2 and P3... I got grilled on stuff by P4s and when you got asked something you didn't know- that bad feeling became the inspiration to never forget what you had just learned... it works...
... I guess it just felt good to be in possession of information that other people didn't have... Thats funny to say... this information is something I've been striving to attain for years and years ... and now when I have a chance to use it- it feels good... it feels good to not feel stupid- that's not bad, is it? Don't get me wrong- there's still so much I don't know- but it feels good to at least get a good handle on this clinical pharmacy stuff... now next month's critical care? That's a whole new game...

those pictures are INSANE!
but seriously though, that time of morning is so awesome for pictures (and similarly, that same blue time at time). next time, just stop walking.
I just like that you're taking photos!
How nice to have knowledgeable, helpful preceptors, especially in the home stretch.
