Clinical Depression

I was looking over the titles from the last few posts and noted a depressing theme. I decided to stick with it as I have just finished signing up for this semester's clinical shifts. I officially have only eight days off from now until Christmas Eve. That sucks, but it is better than last semester where I went for almost four months with two days off.

I am looking forward to clinicals a little bit. We get to cooler stuff this semester; two shifts with the air ambulance, more cardiac stuff, pediatrics, and OB. It should be fun. Just a lot of work.

Things have quieted down a bit here. Tourist season is ending and mud season has began. It has rained for days and there is mud everywhere. Fall is certainly here. There is actually snow on the mountains already. That is excellent for September.

Hopefully with clinicals around the corner I will have some interesting medical stuff to relate. Calls have been pretty mellow around here. It seems like this is the time of year when the older population gets sick and need transporting. Structure fire season is at hand though, as people fire up there clogged up fireplaces and old stoves. No matter what, things are bound to get more interesting around here as I get busier and busier.
