so. today is the first day of pediatric ER. It is different than internal med. Somehow I don't feel quite so overwhelmed as I did there. It still wasn't easy-- but it was more comfortable.
So i get to work with one doc, two residents, and a nurse. There are only 8 beds and its attached to the main ER. Its only open at nights because most parents don't bring kids in till after school anyway.
It was an ER just like any other-- lots of kids are sick or hurt-- fingers need stitches,etc. I only saw about 6 patients or so where I got to do much... i know i didn't really impress the doc, but i wasn't totally retarded I hope. I have lots of hope for this rotation.
