First, a big congratulations to Nathan upon achieving his black belt, to Jason for promoting his first black belt, and to Rachel for finally outranking me again.
Second, I am sick again. Apparently I have the flu. I was not in fact tested, so no one is sure if it's the usual seasonal flu, H1N1 or just a really nasty cold. however, this puts me on the patient's side of the table, which reveals to me a great many things.
Among them:
1) When I am a doctor, I won't show up 45 minutes late without at least apologizing and giving an explanation
2) I will listen to my patients. I may want to avoid catching whatever it is, but if i think it's flu, I'll test for it before prescribing tamiflu.
3) Making that connection is important. I feel awful and miserable, I'd like my doctor to be comforting and not just tell me I can't go back to class until the fever is gone.
I'm supposed to start gross lab on friday, and do my first dissection. I'm hoping I'm better enough by then. Feeling this miserable has meant that I haven't been able to study so I am terribly behind.
