9 weeks into fellowship, I feel like an intern all over again. Just haven't figured out when to eat. A lot of it is self-imposed pressure to try to keep a tightly run service and convince the attendings I don't suck and that they didn't make a mistake in ranking me. I put a coffee maker in the bathroom so I can have it going as soon as I'm out of the shower. Throw in one of those super unhealthy breakfast sammiches. Eat while I drive in. Then pre-round, run the list with juniors and mid-levels, update and discuss plans with various attendings and then off to OR. If I'm smarter, I'll figure out how to eat in between cases, but usually I use the time between OR turnover to discuss whatever the hell is going on with the floor patients that the midlevels are trouble-shooting or see consults that roll in. If it's a good day then I get a lunch. If it's a normal day I may sit down to eat something around 1500-1600. Once again this is all self-induced. I've shed about 15 pounds since I've started, but fear not fellow SDNers; once I've settled into a better routine I shall get my fat back on and be that vascular surgeon who tells people to eat better while inhaling pizzas, burgers and fries behind the scenes. Cheers.
