Things and Stuff

Haven't been blogging much recently. My excuse? A combination of stuff. For one, I'm running the Renal ICU Service currently, and it's been busier than usual. I have 7 patients currently on CVVH--a special kind of dialysis for unstable patients which requires them to be hooked up to the dialysis machine 24 hours a day--these are some sick MFs. And the chances of all 7 dialysis catheters working well at the same time are sadly somewhat slim.

Stayed up late last night (in my already somewhat sleep-deprived state) to watch the end of yesterday's NCAA Final Four game between Kansas & Memphis. What a finish! And what a choke job by Memphis. I had a feeling it was going to be a good one and I was right. By the way, despite my ridiculing my father for picking all four #1 seeds to make the Final Four, he ended up being spot on, picking every single Final Four game correct. Go, Dad!

Small world category: while biking home from work yesterday afternoon, I ran into one of my friends from Paris! Okay, he's a graduate student at Boston University so it's perhaps not that inexplicable, but I didn't know he was back in Boston and the last time I saw him was probably walking around Rennes in Normandy.
