I spent the day in a trauma systems conference. It was really interesting. My problem is that I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I know the kinds of things I like but I'm not set on a specific career path. After this past year I'm interested in: emergency medical services (in spare time), nursing, healthcare administration, corporate compliance, FEMA crisis counseling (in spare time), public policy and practice management. I am still considering going back to adolescent behavioral health or community development.
As if I hadn't spent enough time in health stuff today I had a doctor's appt afterwards. At first they were going to do just the consultation but I talked them into doing the surgery tonight. It was a minor procedure to remove a piece of gravel from my elbow that has been there since I was eight. It resurfaced over the years and became very annoying. I always seemed to find a way to bump it during yoga and it would shoot right up my nervous system. The doc had to dig and I don't think he believed it was actually gravel. The nurse joked it was a tooth from some kid biting me and I replied it might be an unformed twin. Lo and behold it was gravel. They offered it to me as a souvenir but I had to pass. Now my arm is starting to hurt so it seems the local is wearing off. Guess I'll stop typing and go have some Chinese.
