So this week has been filled with CABGs, which are coronary artery bipass grafts. Wednesday I was observing a triple bipass at TMC. The surgeons have been nothing but nice and patient with me in the past. Its always the RNs that get their panty-hoes in a bunch about something. During my time at TMC on wednesday, I got yelled at twice by the RNs. Once for touching a sterile table when I wasn't all suited up. :) yeah I totally get why I got yelled at for that one. Then I got yelled at once more for not knowing my way around the maze of an OR. Dealing with hospital administration and staff has really been the most difficult part of my internship. The blood and guts simply don't bother me. It does, however, cause me serious stress to have to wonder around the halls of all these different hospitals, trying to find where I am supposed to be and when, without any form direction. I always end up asking at least 4 different people where I can find this person, or how I can get into the OR to see that person. I suppose it is good practice though. Despite all the hurtles, each time I set off into the OR I actually make it in.

So tell me, is it just like Grey´s Anatomy. There is no question mark on this keyboard but that was a question.
I miss you! Hope everything keeps going well, you have a truly amazing project
Naw its not too much like Grey's Anatomy. The doctors are mellow, no one is all tense in the OR (unless someone codes lol), and, as far as i know, everyone isn't sleeping with everyone else. We all know that's an important part of Grey's Anatomy. I will say that the rude RN looked like the Grinch though :)Miss you too!
