spring break

So hey, its the first day of spring break, I'm on call and I've just been informed that I'll probably be stuck in the ER for most of the day... damn! I sure didn't expect to be in Cancun flashing people or taking tequila shots from anyone's belly but still... man, it sucks!

I'm not even supposed to be here, a fellow student asked me to cover him because some relatives were coming and I gave in, you know cause I'm a good person 'n all. But I am so regretting this. You see, today its a holiday here in Mexico, well not really, but still most people take the day off, which to me is what holidays are all about. In a hospital that means that a bunch of people are lucky and don't have to show up in all day, and a couple unfortunates get to be on call 24 hrs. I was one of the lucky persons, buy my goodness (read: unability to say no) made me trade days. Supposedly its 5 of us covering the Surgery service today, but 3 did have clinical activities at their hospital. So it turns out that from 7am to probably 6pm it's going to be JUST 2 OF US!! To make things worst, I'm not in what one would call speaking terms with this other guy! Damn!!

Upps, a patient just arrived. Gotta go, I'll probably post something again later, given that the internet is the only friend I'll have for the next several hours.

It's going to be a long, long day today.
