It's been a while since I've posted. Alot has happened since I last posted. Moosefactory, the lessons there, Christmas, including spending my first Christmas with Rob =p, but also loosing a resident in our program in January.

Starting in January there were only 5 left to do the work of 6, including 6 people's worth of call. As you can imagine, the already scarce sleep was getting less.. with an endless list of crazy stuff in the tiny ER room...
- "interesting" characters from all over..
-being called in at 2am by the Dean to recement veneers
- being coined the "fracture queen" - Fractures even followed me to moosefactory!!
- crazy swellings
- chilling with the ER staff

This year has moved mountains though, we managed to convince the higher powers to change emerg protocol that hasn't changed for like decades, giving us at least a wink of sleep at night. I still remember graduation last year, Nosh and I were walking across the Con hall field and we bumped into a former resident who warned us that we were heading into a year of torture. Actually not only has it not been a torture, it has been a memorable experience. .. I am really going to miss Sinai.

Today the staff told us was a Valentine's Lunch... turned out to be a surprise "Hospital Dental Resident Day." Dr. B took pictures of us and posted it all over the room, thank- you notes, a really nice lunch and this amazing cake with our pictures on it. We were really touched... Thank you!!!!!
