First of all, I’ll start off with Lake Louise… what a blast! From showing up Thursday night and finding out I had been signed up on Team Katal in a Shop Wars contest, it only got better. The pad setup was great, the only downside was that the big jump was not quite poppy enough (ie. not steep enough) to get doubles around, so unfortunately the double backside rodeo 1080 will have to wait. But I did learn a bunch of new tricks, including switch wildcats, switch frontside rodeos and backside rodeo 7′s. Great times overall!
On to work stuff (I guess that’s why I have this blog!), Neurology has been awesome. I work with Karen Tulloch on Monday-Thursday and then Penny Bring on Thursday afternoons and Fridays. So far, I have been working with the Stroke team, and have learned a lot about the management of acute stroke, as well as secondary prevention principles. Today I go home happy knowing I caught an error. A pt of mine had high TSH, low free T4, and the resident had prescribed levothyroxine 50mcg qid!!! After a couple quick calls and a bit of education, I sorted it out and got them to a once daily dose. All is well, and the weekend is here!
