Friday Friday...

I'm getting very spoiled by being able to drive to school everymorning. Normally, it's impossible to drive and park anywhere in the Texas Medical Center, and if you choose to park in a parking garage, the rate is already $10.00 after just 2 hours. It's ridiculous. However, we have morning lectures at the school at 7 in the morning, and there's a small little open parking lot in front of the main building that doesn't fill up until closer to 8. Students aren't normally allowed to park there, but there are exceptions for special seminars, lectures, or classes for clinical students who are off site. So needless to say, since I apply I've been making use of it. Very nice, much better than riding the ol' train everyday.

So ENT is still going quite well. I helped in "tympanoplasty" today, which is reconstructive surgery on the ear drum. Pretty cool to operate with microscopes in such a small little space.
I also saw a patient today who shares the same name as a rather famous horror story villain. Of course I can't say the name here or anywhere due to privacy issues, but it was kind of cool nonetheless. Now it's just time for a fun weekend! :-)
