Seven weeks I made it through Peds without getting sick, so of course my body decided the weekend before the exam was the most opportune time to finally succumb to the viruses I've come in contact with recently. I spent my weekend with a ridiculously runny nose and congestion and dreams of well-child exams. No really, for some reason I have been tossing and turning and not getting good sleep because my head keeps repeating patient encounters and it's weirdly stressful.
Anyways, I stayed at home mostly this weekend since I wasn't at full strength, which meant I needed a few distractions. After doing two easy shifts (and a third one today actually) I had been to Target and Whole Foods and actually had some things to eat for once. I spent yesterday afternoon making dehydrated apples and bananas, and even made a pumpkin pie from scratch (aka from an actual pie pumpkin). This years pie worked out better than last years because I pouring the filling into the crust when it was already in the oven, which meant no spills! It was crazy beautiful if I do say so myself. I am pretty bomb at making pumpkin pie from scratch. I also recently discovered you can do the recipe with carrots instead of pumpkin and it is potentially even better, so I will have to try it sometime.
Today it was back to clinic. I have one more day of general clinic now and then one day of specialty clinics (Infection Disease and Coagulation) and then a study day and then the shelf. This weekend is the only weekend the entire M3 class has off together, so it should be fun! We are having a get together at Shea and Marcus's, and those are always good times. I also got a cryptic email today that was sent to a small group of people that said we should expect to go to a lecture at the VA next Thursday given by the chief of medicine, so some of us are guessing that means we have our VA month first for our internal med rotation. I guess I will find that all out soon enough since we start next week. Medicine is notorious for not giving much notice about your schedule. Anyways, I'm cold and hungry so I'm going to eat (probably some pie with it too!).
