Wake up, take a quick shower and pack my lunch for work. Feed my kitty Coco. |
| 7:00 |
Arrive at work and log into the on-call pager, check for messages from the admit pager for any pending admissions- there are none! I will wait until the teams are finished with morning handover to see if the senior resident knows of any pending admissions. In the meantime, I grab a cup of coffee and review the case I will present this afternoon at intake. |
| 8:00 |
Still no admissions, so I print out handouts for patients I will see in clinic this afternoon and review their charts. |
| 9:30 |
Pager goes off! ER calling for admission of a child with new onset seizure. The other teams are rounding. I see the child in the ER and put in admission orders. I precept with Dr. Harvey after rounds are finished. Give neurology a call for a consult and give a heads up to the resident on neurology elective who is sitting beside me in the resident library. Finish my admission note and handover form. |
