	Ethical considerations.
	Spent two weeks as Chief of Medicine recently, which is a sort of junior faculty position. You spend a lot of time seeing patients, and you're supposed to teach the other residents. It's a great way to learn just how much you don't know about medicine. Two case studies to talk about, both from what I learned and from the questions they present... F came into the hospital via EMS after being found unresponsive on the sidewalk. The story he gave us the first day was not so simple. "About a week ago I got a letter from the PNA, inviting me to a firing squad..." ...OK, wasn't supposed to auto-post from LJ mobile yet. I'll try and finish the story this weekend... Tags: mobile

It looks like it did. I'll bug her about it. ;)

I know this story. It's a good one.

I'm almost two years out from medical school, here in Indiana where I was born and grew up. I used to write poetry - still do, sometimes - but now I've taken to spilling my heart out in prose. I'm balancing family, expecting a new baby, and working as a second-year family medicine resident. I'd like to take you along for the ride.

My updates are erratic, dependent on my mood, my current work schedule, and my ability to motivate myself. You are warned.

Expect a narrative of my days on shift. Anticipate good experiences and bad. Almost everything I write, personal or not, is a public entry, so be prepared for things that you don't quite understand.

There is a list of those who really do want to know more about me than the general public desires to see. Flip down to "spin a web" and click the link there to get in on that list.
