LOCKED IN

The vacation has come to an end and my exploration of the city will be limited to weekends and the little bit of spare time I find. The break was definetly a chance to get my ducks in a row and now I am ready to start back.

My first rotation is in Pyschiatry. This is apparently an "easy"start compared to other core rotations. This week I was on the inpatient ward with two other students. I spent most of the time trying to figure out what the expectations are and what my attending wants me to do. I am happy with the attending I am following (such a relief). The ward is locked down at all times, I can't even go to the bathroom without someone letting me in. They dont' give med students keys to anything! I have met some interesting patients but sadly cannot discuss them since patient confidentiality must be maintained!

On another note, I am going to be heading down to FWB not this weekend but next! It will give me a chance to visit with Uncle Hall who is not in good health. Please keep him in your prayers.
I will try to post more often than I have been.

Took a walk across Brooklyn Bridge. It had amazing views despite the cloudy weather.
