A Little Pediatrics


I've returned to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, where I had two months last year. One of the wonderful things about the Valley anesthesia rotation is that you see everything. On my first day back, I found myself in a bunch of pediatric cases. A four year old needed her tonsils removed; a 2 month old had a small infection requiring drainage; a five year old fell off the jungle gym and broke her elbow. After spending months seeing only adults, it was a refreshing experience to recall my pediatric anesthesia rotations. It surprised me to find out everything came back quickly, and I had a fun and wonderful time taking care of adorable kids.
