Usually, hardly anyone calls me on my cell...
On GenSx, i called us the "iPhone team" cuz all of us had an iPhone - me, the jr, the sr, and all of the attendings!! very cool. .... we used our iphones a lot, we'd text back and forth, and basically my pager only went off once when the ward couldn't get a hold of my jr... Anyway, i almost ran out of minutes last mth cuz we used it so much... and when i was on call and my phone rang, it was for sure an exciting event - i.e. a trauma.
So this morning when i was late for rounds, the other med student called me (thank goodness he did!!!). but from the moment the phone rang, to when i hung up the phone, i was thinking "TRAUMA?! TRAUMA????? TRAUMA!!!!!!!" ...
But sadly, traumas don't really need internal medicine... (which makes me go grrrrrrrrrrr!!! cuz i like acute, not chronic...)
My thoughts quickly then went to...
"fuck... not a trauma... fuck... i'm late!" .... then ...
"to brush my teeth or to not brush my teeth..." ... then ...
"do i have enough time to pee???"
then i walked out of my callroom, shut the door, and realized i was barefoot and wearing flipflops!
FUCK!
5 minutes later, i showed up at rounds huffing and puffing - our callrooms are waaaay too far!!!!
