You know...

...you're on an Internal Medicine Rotation WHEN your text messages to your fellow medical interns look like THIS:

me: I'm calculating vanc dosing for your patient but don't have his info or hx. how old was he?

fellow student: he was 58 with a SCr of 1.82 and wt of 97.9 kg

me: I had his SCr as 1.08 today

fellow student: are you sure? ok well we should use the most current one

me: would we consider him obese? we don't have record of his height.

fellow student: i just assumed he wasn't from when we saw him today

me: yea, he didn't look it. i'm using the 0.62 L/kg Vd

fellow student: yea me too

me: i got 1500 mg IV Q 12 hrs with a trough of 13.3

fellow student: i got the same thing

me: what do you think about dosing it Q 8 hrs to get a trough of 19?

fellow student: sounds good.

me: perfect! see you tomorrow!

If this sounds foreign to you, I wouldn't try to figure it out. I'm pretty sure whatever you're doing right now is way more fun.

Otherwise, I'm having a blast in BHAM!!!
