This week has been a bit of a stretch for me as I take over the hospital
administrator position from Curtis. Fortunately, we now have excellent
surgical backup which saved me from near disaster from a lady with a
c-section. A combination of factors made it into a bloody mess, but
thank God that he has brought two surgeons here currently that were able
to give me a hand.
I'm struck as I go about rounds about how much less sure of myself I am
here than in the states -- part of it is working so far out of your
comfort zone, part of it is the lack of information and working in the
dark, and part of it is being so newly out of residency and not working
in the specialty that you trained in. It was nice to get some
educational materials from home and listen to what was news in the ER
world in the states, at least in November. I'm sure that I will
continue to get more comfortable about trusting my judgment as time goes
on, but it is hard at times right now.
