Re: Nice choke job Rabbitts
I don't need to explain, but for you boys I will. I just hope I don't confuse you.
At the institution where I currently practice we spend different blocks throughout the year in different specialties. This month I am reading pulmonary funtion tests (PFT), overnight sleep studies and performing cardiopulmonary exercise stress tests. Most of the work is done by techs and then I interpret the results. Its a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the clinic and the hospital. Last year I was completing a 12 month block of research in the basic science lab, again allowing me a lot of free time (hence the 1000+ posts).
For the first quarter of 2005 I will be in the ICU (as a physician, not a patient) and my presence on the board will be significantly less. Sorry to disappoint. One of the perks that comes with being good at what you do is the opportunity for some flexibility. Given the holiday season I chose an easier block for November and December. I doubt thats an option for you boys.
Don't worry about me or my patients. In fact, if you would like a medical evaluation, 2nd opinion, or just want to check out our facilities, send me a private message and I will be happy to oblige. Better do it before January, though, things will be too busy then. You can bet I'll find time during the early morning hours to check out this site, though. The residents and med students can plug the hole in the dike for a little while.
