Yeah, I know, I haven't updated in a while. Life has been crazy. My hysteroscopy on June 19th ended up being a disaster...they couldn't do the procedure. Long story short, I have a new consult on July 30th, and then we'll see. So we'll be TTA for a while.
Things have been going really well at work though! People call me doctor. Or they say "Are you the nurse?" And I say "no...I'm the...um...doctor..."
The old people are hilarious. One day, this happened:
Nurse: "E [old man with dementia] just told me he broke one of his teeth while eating. Can you take a look at it?"
Me: "Sure..." OMG I don't know anything about teeth. What do I do if it's broken? Call a dentist, I guess...
Me: "Hi E, the nurse tells me one of your teeth is broken."
E: "Yeah...it hurts."
Me: "OK, can you show me where it hurts?"
E then proceeds to take out his fake teeth and put them in my hand.
My attending said some really nice things to me last week, so it's nice to feel like I'm making progress and am not just a total disaster!
