Hey Guys! Iowa is going well. My first rotation is a bit like jumping into a fire pit. My preceptor is a hospitalist, so I'm not even seeing patients in a clinic - just rounding in the hospital all day and taking H&P's on new admits. It is a little bit insane, as is my preceptor, although she is also incredibly brilliant. She likes to half-run down the hallways of the hospital while making you rattle off the major causes of high anion gap acidosis. She's like a petite drill sargent. Great for learning though. Also, people in the hospital are really sick. Who'da thunk it? Yesterday we took an admit on a guy with prostate cancer with mets to his bones and he came in orange as a pumpkin with a total bilirubin of 26. Probably mets in his liver now. Anyway...Josh and I went to the Iowa State Fair this afternoon and I thought I'd post some pictures. We're back in the Midwest for sure!!
Who knew cows could be so pretty?
This is a big bull. The biggest in fact.
It's going to take a two-handed Keahey sign to handle these guys.
You think you've seen one set of pig testicles you've seen them all? Think again. :)
Baby pigs. Cute.
Cow made out of butter.

Me, eating a pork chop on a stick. You can get anything on a stick at the state fair.
Well, I hope everyone is doing well. Keep posting and keep in touch.

Cute piggies mandy! Do they have deep friend twinkies on a stick there. They are my favorite. I hope clinic is still going well. See you.
