Trauma Surgery is Done…

Only twelve more blocks to go in intern year! What a relief it has been to finish my month of trauma and to start back in the emergency room as of tomorrow. The last two weeks have been very difficult emotionally and have caused me to think again about the type of physician I want to be and to examine what our future life in medicine will look like.

First Two Weeks of Residency

Christo is just about half way done with his first rotation of his intern year, trauma surgery.  It has been a long couple of weeks for our family as Christo has spent so much time at the hospital because of how busy the trauma service is at Parkland.  It has felt like more than a month has passed by because Christo is routinely putting in 80 hours or more a week while on this service.
