Dear Bono,
Today was a Wednesday. Wednesday means cysto day at the VA Hospital. For the chief resident (myself), cysto day is code for "sitting at one's desk and doing some work/goofing off/or just disappearing and going to the gym" day. That's because cystos (cystoscopies) are junior resident level procedures.
But remember, it was New Year's Day just 2 days ago? So my cysto day involved 8 hours of me teaching my junior resident how to do the procedures, which mainly involved me trying to not grab the cystoscope from her hands shouting "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST FIGURE OUT HOW TO LOOK DOWN? JUST PUT THE SCOPE IN THE BLADDER. HOW HARD IS THAT?!"
Patients is a virtue.
So is chocolate.
It was a long day.
Sincerely,
JP
