Full Circle

At the end of each rotation, we have to "sign out" our patients to the oncoming group of interns and get sign out from the interns of our next rotation. My first rotation of internship was ICU and at the end of the month, I wrote a long email explaining the daily details of the intensive care unit at the VA. This month, I have a second month of ICU. In the "sign out" email from the outgoing intern, he writes, "Oddly, I think Craig may have written some or all of it back in block one." It's come back full circle! It's funny rereading my words, now edited as it's been passed along from intern to intern, almost like a game of telephone. It's also nice to know that the extra half hour or so in the middle of the night writing this paid off.
