New book review: So Much For That by Lionel Shriver.

Not much to talk about at the moment. Paediatrics is interesting but ugh, SO much to learn. I've been making lists in clinic and then coming home and looking up everything item by item in the textbook, and doing prereading for our surgical tutes, and trying to ignore the daunting length of the Shit We Expect You To Know For The Exam section of my handbook.

Going home this weekend, though :)

I am sans the ability to make proper polls right now, but hey, impromtu voting session! After splashing out on ($2/each) Ulta3 nail polishes last week, which shade should I wear this weekend?

(sadly, nail polish is only a weekend fixture in my life, for hospital infection control reasons)

NO SWATCHES, ONLY NAMES. Though Ulta3 does have some weirdly misleading names for its shades sometimes, so in the interests of full disclosure: Wild Berry is not the shade of any berry that a rational person would put into their mouth. It is dark grey.

- Pepper Pot
- Waterlily
- Midnight Fever
- Wild Berry
- Watermelon
- Blossom Fever
- Jelly Bean

so tired. bed now.

How are you finding your pediatrics rotation? It seems like it would be interesting, given how they're still developing and that has to be taken in to account before treatment. Also, I feel like peds would depress me more than other rotations.

In one sense it feels like you have to learn medicine all over again, because everything is so different: the diseases, the patients, the treatments!

Well, I'm at a rural base hospital, so there are clinics for things like diabetes and ADHD and developmental problems, but the acute care on the ward is lots of pneumonia and broken bones and appendicitis and asthma attacks. Anything really serious gets sent on to the Children's Hospital in Sydney, so I haven't seen any kids with cancer or needing extreme surgery or anything like that.

That seems much easier to deal with. I'm so glad that our practice doesn't do pediatric oncology. I don't think I could take it.

I GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCHED POLISHES JUST FOR YOU FAYE. They are gorg-- you have probably already painted your nails already but I LIKE WATERLILY, ONE VOTE FOR WATERLILY :DDD

I HAVE NOT, because it is not Saturday yet! I still have a day of clinic during which I am not allowed to wear polish.

SO I GUESS YOU WIN BY DEFAULT?

BUT I ALSO LOVE MIDNIGHT FEVER-- and the other colors, but I think I am in more of a dark shimmer mood WHICH APPARENTLY I AM IMPOSING ONTO YOUR FINGERNAILS XDD go with Waterlily, it seems like a really unusual color *____*

It is suuuuch a pretty purple, and I am a very purple-centric girl, so GOOD CHOICE. I think the most unusual is jelly bean, myself -- not blue! not green! looks like something that would taste gloriously like artificial colouring! Love.
