I'm Back

So I found out that my mobile uploads to my blog were costing me a fortune. It isn't as convienent to post from my laptop, but I am going to try harder, or add another $10 to my phone service, what's another 10 when I already pay $135/month.

Anyhow I am back and so is the feeling in my thumb. I have had an amazing time working during my externship at the hospital. I have scrubbed into over 150 surgeries and love every minute of it. It is hard and there are still good days and off days. I can't pick any particular experience that sticks out. Amputations have become ho-hum believe it or not. Neuro is still my favorite specialty. Ortho is my least, but I could grow to like it. It is an exclusive club and I still feel on the outside. I have been offered a job at Salem hospital and have to weigh it against some Portland opportunities. I really do like it at Salem hospital and even got Christmas cards and Birthday gifts from nurses there.

I still have 5 weeks left and plan on blogging more often during this time.

Speaking of Christmas, can't pass that experience. Had a great one. Here are some pics.
