Missin' the DR!

I've been back for almost a week now. A very cold, snowy/rainy week that makes me REALLY miss the Dominican sunshine. But I spent a nice weekend with the kids, and got to see my brother and my sister and her family. And now it's back to the grind.

But not really. I'm now in Dublin, GA on my first assignment as a locum tenens ER doctor. It's a fairly small town on I-16 about halfway between Atlanta and Savannah. I haven't seen much of the town as it's been drizzling most of the time I've been here, but the hotel is nice and the hospital seems good so far. The little bit of time I've spent actually working in the ER (as opposed to orienting and memorizing a billion passwords) has been pretty slow. They keep telling me it'll pick up, and I believe them, but so far so good.

The picture on this post is of an absolutely adorable little girl that was being seen by one of the other docs on the mission in the exam space next to me. She kept trying to escape while her family members were being seen, so I scooped her up and kept her out of trouble for the couple of minutes I could keep her restrained. Thank heaven for little girls!
