the weird and wonderful
100 hour work weeks. Nasty, worn scrubs sitting in the laundry basket. Obnoxious pagers going off at any old hour. And worst of all, bathroom reads entitled "Manual of Pediatric Therapeutics".
This is life with an intern. But there are some oddly amusing perks.
Like being awakened in the middle of the night by the doctor presenting an imaginary patient in his sleep, with full-on arm movements and professional facial expressions. Or, when he says things to me like, "How did you calculate the concentration of the formula?" "I need 6 micrograms of blah blah blah for the cardio blah blah blah" as he floats in and out of consciousness after a 24 hour call. Being able to enjoy Scrubs the show with some insider understanding...but best of all...the "free" purse-sized Purell (with lotion!) he smuggles home for me. Some husbands bring home bonuses. I get Purell!

aww.. the poor dr duncan. props to you for being there and supporting him thru his intern year... showing him love when it was hardest cuz you spent an entire day cleaning and doing the laundry...most of which were his scrubs.
ha ha ha, you got a sleep talker too! it's kind of freaky sometimes when they sit up and just say stuff... but you get used to it.
if you need more purell, lemme know. we are given them by the handfuls. ;)
