Worn Out

I'm so worn out.  Yesterday was my fourth 30 hour call...I'm counting em down like Xmas...or days of detention.  I'm not even half way yet.  I had a long night, but I was able to manage my patients without any screw ups and even had a couple of good "catches" on some patients (ie I recognized a drug reaction no one had considered).  All in all a brutal day, I didn't sleep a wink of it and I seriously went from one admit to another.  There wasn't a single "easy" admit, the one admit they told me was "easy" ended up being the most complex kid of the bunch (he had a major heart defect, born premature, poor weight gain, and now with new sudden episodes of turning blue - cyanosis...where did they get "easy" from).  Much to my surprise I weathered it all and lived to tell about it...I'm now having trouble going to sleep.  I've only had about 1-2 hours of it in this 48 hour time period...but if I go back to sleep that means I'll soon wake up and do it all over again...I don't know if I'm ready for that - but I guess I better do it anyway :P

Here Goes Nothing.
