It started a little frustrating yesterday morning. I woke up at 5:30am and my plan was to be outta my apartment by 6:50 to catch the E and then the F to get to brooklyn by 8:30. Crazy commute huh? that was what I was thinking. Anyway, I made it to Brooklyn and was fine until I got out of the subway. The directions I had said go west on Bergen, since I never have any idea which way is west, east, north or south I did what I would normally do which is guess. I guessed wrong and walked farther away from my intended destination. I called my friend Ami who told me that before I showed up at the hospital I had to go to the medical board office which was on Alameda street (that was what I heard) I told her to wait for me but she said she couldn’t wait because she was cold. I said fine and continued to try and find my way. Everyone I asked said something different. I got a call from my bff who also happens to be my sister. Usually when I am this disconbabulated (spelling?) I call my sis but this time she beat me to it. She said just take a cab, I told her I don’t have money to take a cab she said she would give me some and I got in a cab. I was about 5 blocks in the wrong direction but I made it to 97 Amity which was what Ami said when I heard Alameda. I got my medical clearance and had to security to get an i.d but on the security door there was a sign “No i.d’s today.” I was then sent to the Nephrology deparment and got there just in time to start my day. I was told that I would be working with Dr.B (attending) from Spain I think and Dr. B (fellow) from Russia I think. They seemed like nice people to work with. My colleague Carol and I were asked to go see consults (patients other doctors have asked a nephrologist to see). Thank God for carol because since she is almost done with her rotations she was more comforable doing consults and was very helpful. I would have been lost without her. So we saw 1 consult and then went to noon conference(free food yay!) and then went to clinic. It was a day filled with information review and getting acquainted with the hospital. We were done at 3:30pm and Carol and I walked to the train station together. Although the day started frustrating it ended pretty good.

Stay Blessed!
