"Thank you for keeping patient confidentiality!"

Walking into the hospital today, I got this greeting followed by a lollipop ceremoniously handed to me. Americans can be so funny.

But it was good remuneration for actually coming to work today, the weather was and still is miserably hideous, snow/rain and a lot of wind turning over my umbrella.

I got another new patient when I came in this morning and Jenn supposedly had another one for herself as well. Turns out she tricked me, her consult was cancelled later on because the patient was apparently improving on his own. So the new attending and Jenn were already rounding when I paged Jenn at around 10:30 informing her that I was done with my patient. So I caught up with them and we went to see my patient and her urine shortly thereafter. Rounding with the new attending was pleasant, more quiet and much more thorough. She actually even examined the patient herself.

When we were done half an hour ago, she said "see you in the afternoon". Actually I'm clueless as to what she meant but I'll page Jenn in a few minutes. She may know.

Blog you later.
