A year of practicing medicine like a crazy nomad. Tuesday, February 23, 2010. My first attempt at shooting video and editing.not exactly great, but a super fun day on mt. hood with weather to match. (sorry shannon and t, i would've gotten more footage of you guys if you didn't go so damn fast.). Harsono- riding a bamboo board. Shannon- a blur in most shots. Me (there are no words). Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Alsomore overheards, since they are kinda fun. Me: "ahem. nevermind". I feel like i have more ...

clinical gypsy: May 2010
http://clinicalgypsy.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
A year of practicing medicine like a crazy nomad. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Sometimes it's about the journey. Left for kenya in good spirits- good travelling buds, and no mention of icelandic volcano disturbances.but somewhere on the epic 11 hour flight to amsterdam that all went to shit and we ended up in frankfurt instead, which, as far as i can figure out, is the omaha of europe.no offense, jane and doug :).the bomb scare in the terminal didn't help much. Couldn't come up with anything. Bad Very, very bad.

A year of practicing medicine like a crazy nomad. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. In case you know anyone out there who fits these profiles, please pass on my sentiments regarding the following proper patient behavior:. 1a if you are over 50 years old, 150 lbs overweight, wear glasses, don't shower, and are just weird in general, please make a mental note NOT to wear a grubby t-shirt that says in LARGE letters "get your nerd on! 4 if you're gay, then be gay. it's not a big deal. bottling it up is neve...Looki...

clinical gypsy: June 2009

A year of practicing medicine like a crazy nomad. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. This is it. i can now leave happy from my surgical rotation. today was the crowning glory of achievement, the holy grail of any rotation. Boredom and open heart surgery just don't go hand in hand. it's simply not possible. I mean.does it get any better than that? Saturday, June 20, 2009. So buddy, i hear you've still got the shits. how bad is it? Yes sir. still shitting my brains out, sir.". Friday, June 12, 2009. The army seems ...

clinical gypsy: July 2009
http://clinicalgypsy.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A year of practicing medicine like a crazy nomad. Sunday, July 26, 2009. Because they live in a mountain town mecca and have stupid amounts of time to spend enjoying it. Surely that must be it, since i cannot for the life of me figure out any other reason. so i'm gonna go with that.in which case i better ramp up the enjoyment part for the remaining 2 weeks. last weeks enjoyment menu ran something like this:. Thursday nite: one last family munch 'n music fest, complete with elephant ears and reggae. Then ...

clinical gypsy: September 2009
http://clinicalgypsy.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A year of practicing medicine like a crazy nomad. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The move's been made, the transition roughly complete. things once again worked out in the 11th hour, and although it's not exactly what we had in mind, it'll work. and we're too tired to think up an alternative at this point. Which provided plenty of opportunities to reflect on 3 quintessential road trip ponderings really worth answering. And if so, then how can CA cows truly be happy? It's like the testosterone soaked equiva...

Clinical Rotations: Midway Ecuador Update
http://clinicalyear.blogspot.com/2010/07/midway-ecuador-update.html
Learn Try. Fall. Get Back Up.Repeat x 15 Months. Monday, July 19, 2010. Must at least muster the energy to put up a mid-rotation post. My mini-list of excuses: A constant bug draining my health, limited connectivity, even more limited time, and giant lunch after clinic sweltering heat = nap time. Fruit Stand in Cuenca. Oh, am I ranting? Our teacher takes this class very seriously and we struggle to make it fun. Universidad Espiritu Santo, A Campus where Iguanas and Stray Cats Mingle. July 23, 2010 at 12:...

clinical gypsy: August 2009
http://clinicalgypsy.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
A year of practicing medicine like a crazy nomad. Monday, August 31, 2009. I'm sort of starting to develop this weird sense of guilt about all the fun i've been having.NOT in clinic. although, this time around, clinic is so bad that really, i deserve every decent moment otherwise. Give me a few days and it will be funny. but right now, i just feel stupid. There are 3 day a week catered breakfasts for staff. One doc pulled me aside, giggling madly, and asked me how i've been enjoying my time here so far.

Clinical Rotations: December 2009
http://clinicalyear.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Learn Try. Fall. Get Back Up.Repeat x 15 Months. Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Little Moments in a Big World. Interesting Moments in Pediatric Medicine:. Realizing that pediatric nurses, despite their teddy bear scrubs, will cuss, smoke cigarettes, and make fun of whiny kids behind their backs. Picking up a previously undiagnosed heart murmur during a visit for vision change. And being reminded why I listen to the heart and lungs in every patient every time. Pneumothorax in a 6 hour old boy. Still not unde...
