Bacteria infested humans

After 2 weeks I am still loving peds (whohoo!!). But there is something to be said about the bacteria infested little buggers they are (booo). It is quite known to the med school population that the pre-adults are notorious for getting the med students sick. Some how the residents and attendings have built their immune system up so well, that they are resistant to every bug there is out there (somehow I must market residents and attendings as antibiotics....). As students we are sent in to look at the throats, check the ears, and sometimes, see what color phlegm it really is. And just as your telling your three year old tike to stick out her tongue and say "agghhhhh" she decides its the perfect time to sneeze or cough.....right into your open mouth, because lets be honest, you're saying "aggghh" with her.

Yes, after only 2 weeks, I've come down with a sinus infection.

But I am still really excited for work. :)
