Hard to keep it all straight!
We learned more information about what is and isn't making Anna sick this time. I just found out from the Fellow that Anna most likely won't be going home tomorrow. I think they are going to keep her on the low-fat diet until they get her lab results back. Today, (Thursday) they are taking it off for one meal, she didn't eat for several hours pre-biopsy and she is craving burritos! The doctors changed her orders, ordered her a burrito, and then changed her order back - Yay for great Residents!
Speaking of residents I will be so sad when their rotation is over. I love them. They are all going to be amazing doctors! Dr. Amy is phenomenal and soooo very smart. She is the resident that told us she'd only been in Oncology for seven days so couldn't speak to our question practically, only theoretically. She is... just great. She told me that she's requested to do another rotation in two months back in Hem/Onc - we will totally get to see her again if she gets her request! Dr. Jeremiah is so funny and great with Anna. He's the overnight on-call and today drew a picture of himself on the plan board in Anna's room :) Dr. Sam is very nice and calm and serene, he never really speaks without thinking it through, very much like Sam. I have no idea how anyone could possibly speak with him, even about bad news, and not come away calm and feeling reassured. Dr. Tim is the ER Resident that has been there several times with Anna - he's great too - he has hoop earrings in each ear. Anna thinks that is silly. He is a little more hyper than the others, but quite good. Julia is Dr. Amy's med student, which means we see a lot of her this week. She is very young and eager and enthusiastic and very much a self-starter. We were her first set of presentations on her first full day, today was day three and she was much much better - amazing to see how quickly they learn. She messes up, Dr. Amy corrects her, Dr. Cori corrects Dr. Amy and then whomever the attending is corrects Cori - it is a great system. :)) This week our attending is Rebecca or Dr. Rebecca if we aren't comfortable just calling her by first name.
Cori is the Fellow on Anna's case - she is soooo smart and much more well-spoken than any of the residents, but nowhere near as fantastic as the Attendings. Cori is cheerful and knowledgeable and works very well with Anna and it amazes me how many of the doctors' favorite color is Purple! They all remember her and her pets and animals and their names and her sister's name. Seriously, in the last 6.5 years we have seen a LOT of Residents and a few Fellows and some of these are the best we've seen, especially Dr. Amy. Plus, I also learned, that just like on Grey's Anatomy, we should not always assume they are wearing panties. ;) Did I already mention that?
