Pseudostratified

Who’s idea was it to build TGH on an island? Really? Our main disasters come from hurricanes and they built the hospital on an island? At least some patients get a beautiful view of sunset from their rooms? You know, after getting moved up to a higher floor because of flooding >_<

We had our orientation there. It’s a lovely hospital. One MILLION square feet after all the floors are open in the new wing (which will include A SPA FYI) though. I’m going to be so lost, ha. It’s a really good hospital – there’s pretty much nothing they DON’T do there, they have a great reputation, they’re the sole disaster relief hospital (think more chemical warfare than hurricanes) for the entire west coast of Florida. And the respiratory crew so far seem to be pretty OK people so far.

I’m there for six rotations before I move on to UCH and then Brooksville.

I still don’t feel ready for ANY of it. I have a lab Tuesday which will help refresh my memory somewhat (oh hey use a humidifier when the flow is 3LPM or higher on WHAT device again?) but I still feel quite intimidated. I suppose that won’t go away until I’m actually out there and get to see everything in action.

On a different note, today’s our third year wedding anniversary. The boy got up this morning and took off. Fantastic. Probably went to get the oil changed in the car, but Christ…

And Piggy is doing great now. He’s having a slight issue jumping, but he’s eating and I’ let him out (supervised) for awhile yesterday.

Also David and I did a test run to Davis Island so I would know how to actually get to the hospital and stayed out there for awhile and then went to bayshore for sunset. Here are the photos:

I’ve never seen these birds out in the wild before!
