Medical ICU – Day 1

This is my first time back in the hospital in almost 2 months. I had a hard time sleeping last night because I was afraid I had forgotten all of medicine and how to work in the hospital. Fortunately when I got there, everyone was super nice helping me get oriented. The only issue was my access to the EMR was disabled so basically was locked out of the one thing that makes me useful as a medical student. So I spent the majority of the day figuring that out, but did follow the team for rounds, then got sent home early. It felt good to be back in the hospital and think about medicine-y things again.

Overall I’m looking forward to this rotation because I’m thinking I’ll get to see some pretty interesting pathology and hopefully see/ participate in some cool procedures.
