Sat/Sun - Went to the cabin in Idaho... Bailey would not stop swimming in the lake - Kelty kept wanting to swim, but had to get a little push off the dock to get in - Tyrell caught lots of fish - Jami (my PA school friend) and I just slept the days away on the dock. Great time!
Monday - Started working with the Hospitalist/Family Medicine Inpatient Team at Madigan. Admitted a 29 yo male with O2 saturation of 77% when walking around on room air. Work 13 hours & come home pooped.
Tuesday - Show up at 5:45am to check on my patient & get more patients assigned to me... Looks like my 29yo has Pneumonia and a positive rapid flu test.
Wednesday - Work, Work, Work. Jami & Nikki come over for dinner.
Thursday - Finally get the culture results back on my 29yo male. Turns out to be "Pig Flu"... H1N1... Swine Flu... Whatever you want to call it:) Confirmed case #2 in the hospital.
Friday - Hospitalist team was down 2 Docs, worked our butts off to get 8/13 people home, including now non-contagious MR. Swine Flu. Admit 4 new patients. Still think we might get out of work early... but end up getting MR. Small Bowel Obstruction at the last hour of our shift. Craziness.
Overall diagnoses this week:
-Swine Flu
-Acute Renal Failure - of Pre, Intrinsic AND Post renal causes.
-B-Cell Lymphoma
-Possible sepsis following ACL repair with secondary Pulmonary Embolism
-Domestic Assult victim
-GI Bleed
-Acute Tubular Necrosis (Renal Failure)

-MRSA sepsis following double hip replacement
--- The list goes on and on ---
Overall, a GREAT week. Next week I'm back in the clinic.
This weekend, Jami & I might head into Seattle to "see the sights". Pictures and details to come:)
