I have a three day weekend because the doctor that I am assigned to this week is returning from vacation tomorrow. It is another beautiful day down here on South Beach, but am I on the beach reading a novel, playing beach volleyball at Lummus Park, jogging on the boardwalk or enjoying a tropical drink while looking at the Atlantic Ocean: NO. I am inside studying. I am reading on the Cardiovascular system, I know, you are jealous. Once I finish that, I am reviewing an article on carbon monoxide poisoning that a friend wrote (actually, I am excited and proud about that because she will likely get published--yupee!). After that, I am going to review my notes on a an article that I read over the weekend, which are discussing in class tomorrow on GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, aka, acid reflex). Maybe, if there is still time left in the day, I will have time to write up a few histories and physicals onto "official H&P" forms from the doctors that I worked with last week. If I am really lucky, I will get to work out at some point today so I don't become a tubby medical student....
Although this is not an atypical "day off", this would never make the cut for a Grey's Anatomy, House or even Scrubs episode. I know, you are all wishing you were in Miami Beach studying medicine too.
