first night of call

Well, I managed to survive my first night of call without difficulty. It was relatively slow (only 4 admits) but that didn't stop the nurse from calling me every 2 hours about a patient. Why she insisted on checking vitals and blood sugars that frequently is beyond me but oh well...I still probably got more sleep than most of my fellow interns. I realized that no longer am I required to ask all the review of systems or family history questions like in med school but then again, I have to ask all these developmental questions...which would be fine if I could remember those major milestones. Happy 4th of July!
