We're back from your hiatus with a brand-new baby. All are healthy and doing well. We discuss on this episode the birth, and the time off. Additionally, Eric is back at the clinic and starting a few new ideas to try to further his medical education during residency.

Another week on pulmonology and consulting in the hospital for the service. Thoracentesis, cancers, and bronchoscopy. Additionally, Eric had a brief conversation with a 3rd year resident who matched into a Cardiology fellowship and will relay some of the advice given.

After weeks of floors and 1 week of clinic we are back on a consult service and life isn't so bad. Karen is due in 1-2 weeks and we're getting ready for the new arrival. Quick update this week, hope you all are good.

6 months into this residency, it feels like I've hit a wall. The good news is, everyone else feels this way too.  We talk about what led up to this moment and what we are doing about it. Just keep swimming.

We are on night shift rotation. This episode discusses the sleep/wake schedule and its impact on family life. Additionally, we go over the day-to-day tasks and how the night is broken up. Its a busy rotation and not without its stresses. Sorry for the missed week.

We finished our last week of ED and started continuity clinic. We discussed some lessons learned about maximum morphine mil-equivalents in opiate naive patients and got to sort of run a code.

Update for the week. Karen does all the appointments and car updates. Eric continues with his ED shifts and attends his first ever and probably last ED didactics where they held an M&M.

Week 3 of Emergency Medicine and we've just completed 3 night shifts and will discuss the different approaches to patient care. Additionally, we talk about the process by which we replaced one of our vehicles. Again sorry for the missed week and late episode.

Started our ED 4 week rotation in Red Zone this week. We discuss the opportunities in the ED and learned experiences so far. Lastly, we talk about interviews. What to keep in mind while interviewing and things to watch for throughout the process.

We capped of 8S with some excitement. Couldn't have gotten through it without my team of interns who all stayed late and helped me out. Team work is great. We discuss this and other topics during this episode.
