My glamorous job

Because of morning meetings, I saw patients for only a half-day (about 3 hours) this afternoon. Still, they crammed in almost a full-day's worth. Wheeee! Here is the breakdown:

68 yo Cambodian woman with sinus infection
56 yo AfAm woman followup hospitalization for diabetic coma (add-on to full schedule)

47 yo Cauc female, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, HTN, hyperlipidemia, depression, low potassium, for followup
63 yo Af Am female, left below-the-knee amputation four days ago for diabetic gangrene, for followup

My favorite visit: removing the bullet from the teen's leg. Who knows, maybe his "Senior Project" video will be a hit on YouTube. Ya never know . . .

Home not too late for a dinner of tenderloin steaks and baby bok choy. Dessert of fresh farmer's market nectarines with sorbet (thank you Dean). Yummy!
