miserable

Paediatrics thus far:

1. learning how to pacify and make it things seem a tad 'nicer' for kids.
2. scrubbing in on hernia repairs. and realising the general paediatric surgery list consists of a combination of hernia repairs, penile issues, excision of lump and bumps, testicular issues, removal of foreign body.
3. having a surgeon explain to you in a passionate and sincere manner why he thinks surgery is SO DAMN FANTASTIC. (i'm not entirely convinced yet)
4. playing 20 questions with surgeons. (oh goodness.. the humiliation)

besides that, i have FREAKING COLD SORES. they hurt and sting and make me look like i'm diseased. no one wanna play with me. >< i've been conscientiously applying the acyclovir cream and i'm hoping it will GO AWAY VERY SOON!... sigh.
