Monday to Wednesday (Dec 29-31) was business as usual. AM rounding with your patients, then clinic duties through the afternoon. I did have a very interesting set of cases - a couple rheumatic heart disease follow-ups and I also diagnosed a kid with post-strep glomerulonephritis and started her on antihypertensives. There was a consult from the ED for a kid with ? rheumatic heart disease. He ended up having a new heart block on EKG, very subtle. Dr. Marrone gave me a few good pointers on interpreting EKGs in kids.
On New Years Eve, Tangra was on call. Matt and the kids came over to my apartment to hang out for a couple of hours. We had planned to go either to church or over to a neighbor's home for a bonfire, but by the time 11pm came around, we were all too sleepy.
I had called Carlyn earlier that night to celebrate the Minnesota New Year, so I didn't feel too bad about calling it a night and going to bed early.
