small inspiration planning so i can tune on working

didn't use this notebook quite a while, i bought it once in Flying Tiger during my med school and writing a thesis..

I'm doing good.

I've got some new psychiatric diagnoses here and medication and even psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic group and it's never been clearer and calmer in my head than now. what a proper diagnosis and medication do!

I've ended my first GE/Endo rotation and this week starts my second GE/Endo rotation so basically nothing changes for me besides that the one more person comes to my rotation and it is a senior resident so life gets more easy and I can finally open some books and learn deeply and not only freestyle rage diagnostics and 5 hours a day in grossing room.

but firstly I'm taking my first vacation from Thursday this week for two weeks. I'll fly to Vienna for one week to finally send my stuff here and move properly. Winter comes and all my clothes and warm blankets and everything is still there. Afterwards my plan is just to stay home one more week and to do nothing. Ofc I'll play videogames and hopefully also paint/draw. This year no inktober for me.

BUT I'm on call this weekend. Tomorrow is also a national holiday and I'm still on call. Yesterday I spent some time grossing and dictating leftover stuff from the week.

It's my second on call weekend. In my first, a couple weeks ago I did some grossing on Saturday (it's usually so, we just call surgery on Saturday in the morning so they send everything from the fridge to our fridge) and then there was a frozen section on Sunday. Some residents never got it in their on call weekends but I guess I'm just lucky :)

It was an incidental finding in salivary gland of one brain d3ad patient and they wanted to explant everything possible, you can't do if there a malignancy. So we got to check if it was malign or not. It wasn't. So approx. 4-5 lives were saved and someone got the best present ever possible.

This post is dedicated to @beach-log , thank you for not forgetting about me

I think all the time that I should write here more or even post some histology or whatever weird stuff I experience/find at work but I'm still learning to do something extra besides 10+ work hours a day.
