Hmm. I feel really disconnected from the world. We had a snowstorm like half the country earlier this week. While classes, schools, and most offices closed for the day, for us, it was normal day. After all, it's always sunny and 72 degrees in the hospital. Even the roads clear super fast around the hospital so the only remnants of the storm are man-high piles of dirty snow in parking lots.
This week, I'm on ortho and so far, I've seen a total hip, knee, and laminectomy. There's some crazy drilling and hammering action in the OR. Cool for a few days, but I am again reminded why I will not be a surgeon. Also, ortho has got to be the most testosterone-driven field I have yet experienced. The ortho workroom is mixture between a boy's frat and locker room. At least it doesn't smell bad. But I exaggerate - I'm with a great resident this week who loves teaching, and I've learned more about MSK this week than my third year combined.
