ENT Rotation

Today is the last day of ENT rotation, one of the intern rotation.  The rotation is not bad, it's split with airway clinic and inpatient consults.

The 2 weeks in clinic is busy in the sense that it's a long day.  Starts around 6:15a for morning rounds then clinic usually from 8a-4p then evening rounds after the ENT residents are done with their ORs. Days end sometime between 6-7p.  We don't do anything for rounds, just stand there and sometimes help with sutures removal or copy previous notes.  As for clinic, we do nasal fiberoptic scope for the larynx, so very similar to our fiberoptic intubation.  It was a good practice for our nasal fiberoptic intubation.

Then the next 2 weeks were on consult which we would just hang around from 7a-5p to help out with consults.  Most days we would get abou 2-3 consults and someday we were ignored cuz the resident in charge did want to give us any.  It was good time to get reading done.  I think I've gotten about 2/3 of Morgan & Mikhail done, but the question is more of how much will I retain for the ITE coming up.
