It feels SO good to sit here and do…well..NOTHING.
I worked today for just shy of 13 hours (7:45am to 830pm). I am exhausted. It’s the second time this week i’ve done that. Then I don’t get home until almost 9 and I have to leave the house the next morning at 7:20 to make it to the office by 7:45. It’s ridiculous. But I really do love my job. Maybe not so much the job, but the people.
My patients are some of the most wonderful people i’ve ever met in my life. It makes my day when I call them to give them test results and they are so happy to hear from me. Or when they call the office and ask specifically for me. It really is wonderful to know I am impacting peoples lives, and making their health issues a little easier to handle. I love the diversity there. I get patients from 7 days old to 98 years old. But I just love the relationships i’m building. I don’t think they realize how much they brighten up my day.
I also love the co-workers. Were a small office. One office manager, two doctors, and three Medical assistants. Thankfully, we all get along SO well. They are like a second family to me. Were all always there for eachother and we always help eachother out. It’s really wonderful. Sometimes they all drive me NUTS but ultimately, i love them more than I dont lol.
It’s really stressful in the healthcare field, obviously, knowing you have someones life in your hands. Knowing that if you call in the wrong dose of medication (or the wrong medication) that you could kill someone, or knowing that if you make a mistake an inject the wrong immunization, they could get hurt. It’s stressful and you have to be on your feet, but my office and the patients make it very very easy (MOST OF THE TIME!)
I just felt like ranting/raving about that since it’s my home away from home and i’m there more than I am home. It’s really not just my job, it’s a good portion of my life. And while working less would be GREAT, I am really happy about how much i’ve learned, and continue learning. I am thankful to God for this opportunity and for the grace and patience to get me through the days..especially those days when im there for 12-13 hours and I want to fall over and I feel like I cant keep my eyes open (THANK YOU GOD FOR THE MIRACLE OF COFFEE!!!!!!)
Ok well im off to bed, so I can return to work tomorrow at 745 am…God give me strength!! Good night
