Back on Peds

"The Switch" - that's what we call it when we go from internal medicine to peds or vice verse. I "switched" last week and am fully immersed back in the world of pediatrics again. I started off this month in the NICU - totally different from the adult world but interesting nonetheless. The NICU is a slightly strange and mystical place. Small people are in incubators hooked up to machines that tend to ding at regular intervals. Strangely enough, it's a relatively quiet place aside from the aforementioned dings. The babies generally don't cry much there - after all, they normally would still be in their mother's wombs.



Here's a very funny youtube video about the NICU set to a MTV cribs style interview:


Anyway, I'll try to post a little more often now that I'm back on peds!
