Gina Bean!

I have spent a wonderfully lazy Saturday with Evan, sleeping in, watching movies, taking naps, and watching some more movies.  I don’t think I’ll know how to get back to real work in a few days.  So, until then, I will just enjoy And congrats to Stephanie, Dave, and Abby!  Abby will be an adorable [...]

Thanks to the call trade, I get to enjoy a 3 day weekend this weekend!  After getting some sleep this morning, the day was filled with shopping, dinner, dessert, and The Hangover.  Our “shoe-shopping” trip resulted in a jacket purchase, we ate way too much at dinner because of the awesome fresh guacamole, and then [...]

Instead of a PICU call tomorrow night, I traded with Ami so she and her husband could go to the Elton John concert and I’m here on wards tonight.  Glad I have a good group to hang out with!  AND glad I will have a 3 day weekend because of the trade!

Back in October or November, my dad complained of some heaviness in his chest and (thankfully) actually listened to me when I said he needed to see his doctor.  Some EKGs, stress-testing, and imaging later, he ended up at St. Anthony’s for a trip to their cath lab and ended up getting stented in November.  [...]

After several days of trying to wrap my head around the endocrinology section in the MedStudy books, I finally sat down at my computer today to start a study guide like the ones I made for our Intro to Human Illness class back in med school.  Condensing already dense information isn’t the easiest thing in [...]

It’s funny seeing Moira perk up when she hears the little shiba puppies from the web cam.  One of these days we’ll get her a cute little shiba pup to play with and take care of…

I was bummed having to come in for a Saturday PICU call since it’s 19 hours instead of 14 and since they’re usually without an in-house attending.  I was pleasantly surpised though to find out that I’m with Dr. Kevin C. tonight, a future full-time PICU attending here, and to learn that there aren’t as [...]

In between cases in the OR today, I ran around a bit with Obi-Wan’s camera and took pictures of fellow residents hard at work (or at least pretending to be hard at work).  Attendings and residents in clinic, pretending to read head ultrasounds, a smiley chief…If only I could spend most of my days as [...]

Evan and I were in Jasmine’s car with her tonight and had some time to kill while waiting for my sister and her boyfriend, so we decided to drive around a bit.  Literally…in a tiny parking lot.  We just sorta meandered around the lot, making figure 8s and random, sometimes snarky, comments about the decor [...]

Going out for a yummy sushi dinner with some friends after work was a good way to end my clinic day.  Evan and I hadn’t had sushi in probably 5 or 6 months now and I’d almost forgotten just how tasty it can be. Looks like we’ll have to stop going out to eat at [...]

I had this sudden, random, totally unnecessary urge to look for some black sneakers the other day and I stumbled upon The Adidas Originals Star Wars Collection!!! This is AWESOME.  The baddies have these super-cool black Death Star shoes that I want: And the rebels have X-wing and Millennium Falcon inspired sneakers.  They aren’t black [...]

First, our cool new sectional… Then the dog on what she thinks is her part of it…
