…and it doesn’t smell like fermented Taco Bell for once!

My
inpatient hospitalist rotation ended last week. I enjoy the thought process behind internal medicine but it just doesn’t
quite grab me the same way Urology does. Why urology you say? That’s an entirely different update altogether! Maybe I just
enjoy pee and restoring people’s sex lives with the assistance of that lovely little blue pill. Regardless, I’ve been a good
little H&P scut monkey for the past few weeks and I’ve gotten the hang of writing solid patient notes. I started Pediatrics
today. It made me realize how thankful I am for people that sacrificed to go into Pediatrics as their specialty. At one
time (as some of you long time fans remember years back) I worked at a pediatrics clinic as a volunteer and loved it. Now, I’ve
gotten to the point where I need more than just colds, flu, stomach viruses and strep throat cases to keep me enthralled.
I guess all specialties have their saturation point but doggonit, urology seems to be the soggiest, most pee-soaked specialty
of them all to me.

Things are going quite well between Patty and I. We’ve gone thru the whole “Meet the Parents” ritual and seem
to have done well on both sides! I was worried that I was going to have to take a polygraph test when I met her family but it
all went off without a hitch pun heavily intended there. Anyway, I am falling asleep. Patty wants me to update this site
more because I have been a slacker on it. Anyway, I’ll reward you all with a picture. Here is Patty and myself

Time for Richie to get his sleep so he can get up and make rounds on time tomorrow.
