The Price of a Christian Nation
Well, at least we're beating Turkey.
Seriously though, when did we fall so far behind the rest of the world in science?

Stroke Patients (Not That Kind of Stroke...)
Sharon has a couple friends over, so I'm not doing a video post today. I had orientation to the Psych/Neuro rotation the past two days, so I thought I'd update with the details for my rotation. I do two weeks of Neurology followed by four weeks of Psychiatry, with exams and OSCEs to follow. For Neurology, I was placed in the Neurovascular Team at Froedtert. Basically, that means two weeks of strokes and TIAs. We pre-round on all our patients at 7 am, meaning I'm assigned to either a new patient who was received overnight or an old patient who spent the night. I check their progress and lab results, then present the case to my attending at 9 am. Then as a team (attending, residents, and med students) we rotate through all the patients and determine diagnoses and/or plans. That should last until lunch. After lunch, if I don't have lectures, I follow the residents on consults and stroke cases who present to the ER. On days I don't have call, I leave at 5 pm. On days I do have call, I stay doing consults, etc. until midnight. I have weekends off (I do have one Saturday on call) and I get the 4th of July off, which is nice. This is a pretty standard rotation, basically what I can expect from all my rotations this year (with the exceptions of surgery and OB/GYN, where I do overnight call), so it's a good place to start.
