Getting back to my application updates....I contacted ADEA on Friday and my PASS is now finally being processed. They have all my required documents and programs will receive my applications maybe next week if I'm lucky. Isn't that funny, I submitted my PASS online in early June and programs don't receive my actual application until mid-August! Crazy sh1t!
Let me share with you all a pretty cool oncall story.
This past Thursday night I took call, it was facial trauma night for our service. It was a 3rd year resident helping a 1st year resident, helping the 1st year resident in transition, and then me. We received a call around 7 PM from Fast Track ER about an infection/abscess case. After we arrived, we found a 37 yo aa female with a minor maxillary vestibular abscess caused by a gross carious tooth #3. It was no biggy, we prescribed antibiotics and told the woman to follow up in our clinic on Monday.
While we were examining this abscessed woman, one of the ER docs grabbed us and said he has this new patient who came in the ER for a minor burn on his forearm and he had noticed that this patient couldn't really open his mouth and he would like us to take a look since we were already there in the Fast Track ER. This patient was a 23 yo aa male, muscular is all hell, who decided to use boiled hot grease to burn his tattoo off of his forearm.
This patient had trismus with MIO about 10 mm, you can notice the facial swelling in the right submandibular and angle region just by looking at the dude. After looking intraorally, we noted the uvula was grossly deviated to the left. The patient complaint about having sore throat and a slight change in his voice. After our examination, this patient was diagnosed with a large pterygoid and lateral pharyngeal space infection and require to be operated immediately in the OR.
This patient was very noncomplaint and was swearing up a storm saying sh1t like, **** this and **** that, I don't want surgery and I rather die at home. Just a fcuking huge baby. He was crying and everything. We requested an ENT consult to scope his airway by nasalpharyngeal scoping and this patient practically broke down balling like a little girl. He did not want anything to go down and through his nose.
ENT finally was able to scope this patient and confirmed our diagnoses. By this time, it was already 9 PM, after admitting the patient and scheduled the OR time, we went into the OR around 10 PM and operated until midnight. We found the offending tooth, it was #32 that was causing the infection and extracted the tooth with I&D. Pinrose drains were placed.
Bottom line is that this patient who we initally thought was nothing and who came to the ER for his forearm burn, end up in the OR because he almost could've died because his lateral pharyngeal space was compromised! This patient was very entertaining because of his vocal vocabulary choices and how he cried for his mama the whole time. He literately was calling for his mama balling! This 23 yo muscular man!
Last night was one of my boys 30th birthday celebration party. We went to this upscaled lounge in Chicago call Funky Buddha Lounge and had 2 huge VIP sections reserved. It was a crazy freaking night! We went there around 10 PM and left around 4 AM. We started with 4 bottles of Cristol at $500/bottle and 10 other various bottles of hard liquor. My buddy's coworker paid for all the champaigne while we all pitched in for the 10 bottles of hard liquor.
My boy and his coworkers all work at the Chicago board of trades trading stocks and pulls in all this fcuking cash, this was my first time tasting Cris. To be honest with you, Cristol tastes the same with any other cheap champaigne that I've ever tasted. I couldn't tell the difference, but it was cool to say, "yeah, we had Cristol last night"! That wasn't even the highlight! My highlight was meeting this amazing sexy beautiful blonde who I met through a friend. She owns her own company designing lingerie and we talked the whole night. I asked her for a date after we've flirted and talked for ever and since I'll be here in Chi-town for another 2 weeks and she said yes!!
****, you guys, I wish I could show you a picture of her, she is so damn gorgeous and cute. I'm pretty excited to see her again. Last night was pretty crazy! we had about 50 people in our party and the lounge was packed! I about sh1t my pants when we got our bill at $3500!
I'll keep you updated on my date with this blonde hotty. Our date is sometime next week and she wanted me to call her so we can flirt some more and plan our date. I'm really excited to see her again. Tonight, I'm taking call again with a 2nd year and a 1st year, hopefully I'll get to see more action! Stayed tuned because there's alway sh1t going on boy!
