Crazy night. IDF alarm went off, had to put on the patients and ourselves on the ground for an hour bracing for the worst. We've really gotten a taste of everything out here. My adrenaline keeps kicking in, and then I crash, I'm exhausted. My brain lobectomy patient tried to run off the ward and punched a staff member. And somewhere in the middle of all of this, another patient of mine vomited almost 2,000ml of bile- not pleasant.
The transition is here for the British and we are going to a new schedule. I'm looking forward to it. Its called LENO, Late, Early, Night, Off. I think we'll like it more than Night, Day, Night, Day.
Last thing I want to mention... I feel so encouraged right now. More than one person, including a surgeon personally thanked me for helping save that mans life. I feel like a made a REAL difference. I do have to say that I like the medical profession in the way than no one person can take all the credit, it truly takes a team to do it.
Most of the time our actions and decisions get caught up in the chaos of life, and we never really know whether we made a difference. It is rare indeed to see a good and brave deed accomplish its mission in front of your very eyes. You are now an official angel, having saved a good man's life. I think I heard a bell ring!
