NICU redux

I spent a month in the NICU as an intern, and it was probably the best month of the year. I'm back in the NICU and while it's mostly enjoyable (dealing with the ill neonate, preterm births, adjusting ventilators) the hours are grueling. Now I'm in the step-down unit, which is a bit like the nursery, my least favorite rotation of the intern year. I'm in the process of attempting to switch to anesthesia again.

Exhausted

The month in numbers:
Average hours worked per week: 79.5
Longest shift worked this month: 27.5 hours
Days off as of now that aren't post-24 hour call: 1
Hence, the time on the sofa with the tv remote and the cat...
