I start my third year of medical school tomorrow. My first rotation is pediatrics, and the first week will be spent in the neonatal nursery. Since this year will be unlike any of my previous schooling, I am a little apprehensive. As the previous post mentioned, I was able to spend a day in the OR with my friend back home. While there, she let me intubate a patient, put in an LMA ( which is another airway device), and start an arterial line (analagous to an IV, only intra-arterial). I have to say, it was way cool. Anyway, not much more to say other than hopefully this blog will become exponentially more interesting now that I'm doing more than just studying day in and day out.
