Emergency Medicine at MHH.

Memorial Hermann Hospital

Today I officially began my emergency medicine rotation with UT Houston at their central facility, Memorial Hermann Hospital which also happens to reside in the Texas Medical Center. This is no change in scenery for me, as most of my schooling and work with Baylor just takes place right across the street, mostly. Still, it marks the first time I've ventured outside of the Baylor system, and also my first month of two of elective rotations in emergency medicine.
Mermorial Hermann is also home to world renowned trauma surgeon Dr. Red Duke who is well known for both the devlopment of helicopter assisted emergency rescue and transport, as well as his nationally syndicated nightly news health segments.

This morning in particular, I started off in a day shift in the pediatric emergency center, which was nice just coming off of pediatrics and spending some time in the Pedi EC at Ben Taub. The morning was slow--which they usually are--but things picked up around 10 o'clock and we started having patients. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I'm now really looking forward to what this next month brings.
