30 Something Baby Doc

My patient who was refusing blood transfusions did well during surgery, there was only minimal blood loss. I didn't let the residents operate alone given the severity of the situation if there had been massive blood loss. (the anesthesiologist would have likely demanded that I scrub (operate) anyway) . I did let the residents operate on my second case of the day...and let's just say, it's gonna be a long year:-(

I heard back from the examination board and they accepted my appeal to reschedule my certification exam to the end of the year. This should give me a chance to help out in the Gulf area if I'm needed. I on a few list already, but I just want to make sure my skills are utilized (I don't want to be checking people for the clap all day) There is a group leaving out in 2 weeks , I may try to hitch a ride.

Delaying my exam will allow me to make it to Jimmy's wedding and also complete a review course in Baltimore:-).......One word.....Maryland Crab Cakes ....oh yeah
