This month I have been on call every 4th day, which means that I stay at the hospital working for 27 hours straight roughly. I usually get a little sleep, but I definitely have to go home and sleep post-call and spend that whole day feeling exhausted. This last call was been the most busy by far, because there were multiple transplants coming in. Very exciting for the recipients. I got to see the process of preparing a patient for heart transplant from patient arrival all the way through induction of anesthesia and prepping for incision. Very interesting. Only one more cycle of wedge day (about 6am-4pm) and call to go and then my month in the ICU will have come to an end!
