The Life of an Egg

"In every child who is born, under no matter what circumstances, and of no matter what parents, the potentiality of the human race is born again." -J.Agee

Name:
Location: Los Angeles, California

I am addicted to Flamin Hot Cheetos, goat cheese, rainbow sherbet, and hummus. I want to meet Paul Farmer. I can't touch library books because they smell. I have a tattoo of the tree of life on my back. I have a problem with picking at my nails when I'm nervous, stressed out, or bored. I am irrationally proud of being from California. One of my main goals in life is to be a good person. And finally, please don't ask for medical advice, especially if it involves any sort of discharge.

It's almost September

Yay. I survived my month in the PICU. All I can say is THANK GOD IT'S OVER.
I went out with a bang, on my last call, in typical fashion. My attending asked me "what are you? the shit magnet?!?" And yes, it's true, all month I've been the Shit Magnet.

My last night, I admitted a young boy who tried to intentionally hang himself, an oncology patient who is basically dying and has a tremendous amount of uncontrollable bony pain, and a teenager who got into a gun-fight with someone and got shot 6 times in the abdomen.

For the next 2 weeks, I'm doing night shifts as the senior on general peds. Not my favorite rotation but way better than the ICU. This weekend, one of my best friends from high school is coming to visit me for our pseudo-"wedding shower" thrown by our best man. So excited.
