Another day, another rotation, another year over

First of all, I was right, Vancouver was great! I didn't get to set up a fellowship, but did learn a lot and had a fun time. Spent way too much money, though. Really feel now like us hicks out in Sask are trained just as well as everyone else in the country.

Finished CV anesthesia today. Worked witht the Program Director - that was a bit stressful. He really likes to teach, but expects a lot all at the same time. He is still fun to work with though, not like one of the other attendings (what a jerk that guy is). I thought I would hate this rotation (it can be really long days with early starts and inpatients every day to see), but I actually enjoyed it. I got to do one of the things that attracted me to Anesthesia in the first place - put in lines. I love to put in lines, especially when they go in well.

July 1st marks another year of my residency and medical career over. In a way, it is a great feeling knowing that I am moving on, in another, scary. We have graduated responsibility in Anesthesia and one of these days they will say, "you are a 'senior' now, you should know that" and I will just have to admit that I don't. One good thing is that Jurgen is going to be starting to study hard soon, and I will do the same. I don't quite need to go to the same extent, but it will help both of us.

Another day over marks another rotation over, and soon, another year over. It all goes by so fast. Time flies when you are having fun!
