i could write a "totally dumb" moment any day you ask me, but i thought since i started this theme this week, i'd make it today. so about 3pm today i was feeling like on the list of dull crayons in the box or blunted tools in the shed i was falling smack between paris hilton and anna nicole smith (may she rest in big blond peace).
the one lousy question i was asked on a thoracic case was, "where do the pulmonary veins empty out?" and i friggin' know cardiopulm anatomy and what did my stupid self say in my panic to say SOMETHING, "ummm...the subclavian vein." geez God. it's the left atrium, of COURSE it's the left atrium. grrrr. the subclavian doesn't even go the right direction for what he was asking and has nothing to do w/ the bloody lungs! stupid, stupid, stupid. i wanted to throw myself out of the window. but then i might get maimed and couldn't use my body to make money in a pinch when this PA thing doesn't work out and so would then HAVE to depend on my rapier wit. hell.
anyway. got to see 2 thoracic cases today and then a vascular case. so it was a cool day. i just need to learn to think before i squeak out an answer.
