Pictured above is the abdominal aortic aneurysm repair that a couple of replies asked about yesterday. Yesterday, had a great time in the ER at Olive View, although it was difficult. It was one of the busiest nights there, I have worked since becoming an attending. Lots of really sick patients. By the time I got off in the morning the ER was packed, and crazy, and there were still lots of patients in the waiting room. Usually by the early morning time things slow down a bit but not that day. Right as I was getting off shift, a pick up truck pulled up to the back with a woman in labor. When I felt inside, the head was already coming out aka “crowning”. The lady was able to hang in there though and we were able to get her to deliver upstairs in Labor and Delivery rather than the ER. On the way driving home, I heard Greenday’s song “Holiday” on KROQ. It gave me goose bumps. I can’t believe we’ve been listening to them for over a decade now, and they are still making such relevant music. Kudos to them. Got some good news from Moglandor while driving home also. He just got accepted to University of Kentucky’s College of Law. I think that’s where Will Baird went to undergrad, If I remember correctly. We all know he’s going to kick ass and take no prisoners there, and then become a wealthy hot shot lawyer. Don’t forget the little people Moglandor. I read on their website that UK’s professors got #3 in Princeton review’s best law schools, for the category “Professors that rock, legally speaking”. Took Kapono to the dog park for the first time today. He was a little shy, given that it was his first time. He spent most of the time getting chased by a little Chihuahua. I’m sure next time we go back Kapono will kick some more ass.

Fasinating picture.
Thanks for posting that. How many babies have you delivered? Congratulations to Moglandor!
I had read that the professors are very well thought of by the students, which may make for a better first year and also stand me in good stead if/when I transfer.
Has cheese_panda delivered *any* babies? I think I would’ve remembered that story.
Actually, I just read the operative report on my patient yesterday, and they did end up clamping her and doing the goretex graft operation. By the way, I’ve probably delivered 10-20 babies during my career. Only once in the ER, the other times it was during OB-GYN rotations from medical school and residency. The first time I saw a baby being delivered during medical school, I almost cried.
Congrats, Moglandor. Go forth and kick ass.
Does the vena cava really look blue though?
Oh yeah, I forgot you had that OB-Gyn rotation thing.
