Back to work

Okay, so vacation is officially over and I’m back to being a doctor again.  Unfortunately for me, when I had planned vacation, it was supposed to get me off the first week of a trauma rotation; with the change in my schedule, it actually succeeded in cutting my elective a week short.  So today I […]
