Short update.

Feb 2, 2009

Today we woke up to London covered in snow. They said it was the most snowfall in 18 years! No buses were running and the tube and train were very delayed. The airlines also had cancellations and delays. I was to have gone in for a “moving and handling” inservice, but offered to go onto the ward instead, and was quickly taken up on my offer. The walk in was quite surreal, as London without buses is an odd sensation.

Ok, I am still struggling with this experience. I need a debriefing; I need to discuss the patient cases that I have seen. I need to talk. Our ward is closed to taking new patients because of a mrsa spread. I had a patient who we were giving peripheral iv phenytoin while her iv site was painful. Just a myriad of events that I need to discuss.

I have tomorrow off, then head in for a 3-day stint.

Enjoy the pictures!!
