I have a quick stretch of "q3" meaning that I am on call three nights after my last call. This is because we just switched rotations. Thus, I was on call Sunday, post call Monday, and I'm on call tomorrow. The problem is that it only leaves me one day for my blogs. So today's will be short and unfortunately it'll only make sense to those in medicine.
