I don't get why people are scared of being in Oakland.
Went to Oakland last night to shadow Catherine of Aragon.
I first asked her if I should stop at the Fruitvale BART and then walk 2.8 miles to get to the hospital, and she replied with a huge NO, that I could get shot or stabbed walking around in Fruitvale. So she recommended that I stop at Lake Merritt and take the free shuttle there, which should look like a white van.
Instead, I jumped on the wrong white bus to get to the hospital...
But the rest was AMAZING.
Met the two attendings working that night, one of whom was a post bacc.
Severe asthma attack.
Bicycle accident, laceration on his forehead.
Guy with two gunshot wounds.
Old male that required a central line, possibly having died.
Possible case of MRSA.
Was lent a pair of scrubs, which got bloody trying to turn a guy over to remove the plank from under him.
It would have been nice to see a trauma case, but I got to do sutures on a guy!
