Last Week at the Taub

So this is my last week on internal medicine at Ben Taub, the county's hospital. It's been an interesting experience, and I'm sure I'll miss some of the craziness when I move back to the VA. I certainly won't miss the 6-10 page handwritten H&P's. Or the nice whiffs of who know's what as you're walking down the halls. Overall, I've had a good experience with it though. Good teams, interesting patients, and people who are mostly grateful for the help that you're able to give them. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be coming in 2 months ago. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to the VA system of doing things. I'm certainly looking forward to being back on their computer systems and all. The daily parking will also be pretty nice again.
