Update...

The twelve leads of a twelve-lead electrocardi...Image via Wikipedia

Admitted 4. Discharged 1 to heaven. Requested autopsy. First time ever. Family thought over. Charge nurse called me at 5pm post call. Had no sleep despite relatively healthy patients other than other mentioned. 5 codes overnight (not my patients, thank god). Prayed with family. Haven't done that lately.

Something's wrong. Sudden death. Runs in family. EKG not giving up any hints. Need answers.

My post-midnight admissions suck. Hard to get an H&P when I can hardly think. Will get better as it becomes more automatic.

Baby has two little tooth bumps. They haven't poked through yet. Slightly crabbier than normal, but still literally a bundle of joy most of the time. Starting to get those baby thoughts again, but need to give myself at least another year before seriously contemplating another pregnancy. My life is hard enough.

Drinking red bull post call and trying to enjoy time with family.

Unit month starts tomorrow.
