In a Groove

Maybe it's the fact that I'm a few weeks away from being done with this year. Maybe it's that I'm burned out from my last few months. Or maybe it is being 8 months pregnant, miserable, and exhausted. Whatever it is, I cannot find my groove this month. Usually by the first week, I've settled into the new routine and its expectations, but this month on geriatrics I am still struggling to be efficient and to take ownership of patients. Nursing homes are not my favorite places to be or to practice medicine, but neither was the cancer floor or the ICU. Hopefully, I'll either find my groove soon or just pray that this month will go by quickly.
