Autonomy
I'm finally getting autonomy ... which after 4 years of medical school and 3 years of residency is a little refreshing, and scary. Mind you, my attendings have to be there for the induction (putting the patients to sleep) and extubation (removing the breathing tube), and some of the important stuff in between, but it's finally MY case - my plan, my implementation. It's strange though, how you approach something when it's YOURS.
Now all bets are off on other days when the attendings want to do everything ... but today it was my show. Thank God for small victories.Blogged with Flock

Way to go, Ro!
This picture scares me a little bit. This is the face that little children see while you put them to sleep. At least you are wearing one of your "fun" surgical caps.
Can I just mention that I'm very proud of you? I still wish that there was no such thing as HIPAA, so I could come and shadow you and see all the things that you do. You can come watch me at work, but since it's just me staring at the computer and papers, it might be kinda boring. you've seen me work before.
