Medical ICU – Day 4

A lot of residents were off today so I kinda was helping pick up some of the slack as best I could as a medical student. And since I was gone the yesterday and both my patients were downgraded I had to pick up all new patient, and I also took on one of the news as a third. So far I’ve enjoyed my time on ICU. It’s a good mix of pure, broad scope medicine with also the action and drama and procedures of high acuity and the sentimentality and care of interacting with patients and families around sensitive topics.
