boredom and medicine

For everyone who thinks medicine is like er and grey's anatomy, let me just say that nothing could be further from the truth. Let me run u through my last 4 days.

Wake up 5:00
get out of bed 5:30ish (what? Don't judge me!)
Shower, get dressed, leave apartment 5:30ish-6:30
Arrive at work 6:45ish (i hate morning drivers)
Sit and wait until 7:00
Morning table rounds -where we talk about the patients we have to see today. 7:00-7:30ish
See patients 730ish-1000
Do rounds 1000-1100
Do second batch of table round 1100-1230
Lunch 1230-1:15
Stare at the residents and pray for something to happen 115-?
Go home ?-600
Arrive home ?15-700 (i hate afternoon drivers)
Eat dinner, relax, watch tv, read, whatever i need to get done ?-10/11.
Go to bed 10/11
Sleep and repeat.

As u can see in medicine there isn't much excitment for 99% of the days. Which is good for patiens but absolutely brutal for med students.
