2. Watching your sixth code of the night through the window next to a nurse's station and noticing Pandora's playing 'pour some sugar on me'. Bonus points for singing a little inside your head and then feeling bad.
3. Cataloguing the myriad pronunciations of "Au Bon Pain" (our new hospital coffee shop! Yay!)
The most common is "Ow Bone Pain" followed closely by "Oh bone pain." Then there's the French variation which comes out vaguely "Oh Bo Pah" and generally needs to be repeated three to six times before anyone figures out what you're saying. Not quite sure why this amuses me so.
4. These. Shoes.
5. 30 second elevator dance parties. Bonus points if someone catches you as the door opens.
6. Going the long way to the east building so that you can walk through the newborn ward filled with pictures of babies taking baths. Bonus points if your delivery pager goes off while you're there (new babies!).
7. Looking at your watch at 8am and you have not eaten, slept, drunk, peed, caffeinated, or sat down for over 17 hours and didn't even notice.
8. 3am check. 47 out of 53 patients still alive!
9. 5am: the pager operator starts apologizing when she calls you, "wow, you're getting slammed."
10. When the nurses call you with a question thusly: "Hello Dr. SS, I have a patient in room thirteen with "x" problem, usually in this situation the doctor would recommend "y" treatment at 5mg BID, would you like me to write that order that for you?" Yes, yes yes!!!
11. Lavishly detailed bed fantasies.

Ahh, those shoes! I wear & adore the Sanita version, which are supposedly made in the original Dansko factory with the old-skool Dansko design. They seem to be more uniformly made than the Danskos.
I also adore your blog and look forward to each new post. Thanks for sharing!
We had an Au Bon Pain across the street from the law school. The solution is "ABP"!
