New Job

Well my first week at my new practice is done. I feel pretty good about it all told. It was (is) hard to learn a completely new hospital system. Who do you call for this or that. What resources are available and what do we do ourselves. I'm getting used to handwriting notes and flipping through paper charts again. All in all I like the simpler system. I also really like the way Michigan tracks vaccine administration. There is no guessing what's been done where and when and what is missing.
There are lots of cultural differences working here rather than Cleveland which I'll have to get used too. I've noticed lots of younger married couples. Much more use of alternative medicine and fewer smokers. (In my one week sample of course).
I've rounded twice and have been amazed both times at the sweet simplicity of the work flow. No complicated med rec, no duplication to the point of madness... sigh. I think I'm going to really like it here. My partners are all very different but are all very nice. The nurses and office staff are helpful and patient.
...lets just wait and see how I feel after next weekend. I round and take call for 5 days. I hope it's not to busy.

I LOVE the 80s

So most of you know I'm not that into U-Tube and I've never posted a video clip on this blog but this one really made me laugh. You should check it out.



watch out for that angel kid....

Correction

Thank you anonymous. My source was wrong the election is indeed a fundraiser for the Omena Historical Society.

You can buy a mayoral spot in Omena Michigan....

But only if you are a dog, or a horse or a cat.

I kid you not. Omena Michigan (in our new home county) is electing it's first mayor in 150 years. There are 27 candidates, all animals. You can vote as many times as you want. One dollar a vote. Proceeds are going toward the humane society.
