Dr. Cyndi has been pretty tired this week. She has been waking up at 5:30 and getting home at 6:30. So, last night I got home and made some macaroni and cheese and got out the sandwich food for her. She came in the door at around 6:45 as I was finishing the Cheesy Mac and I told her to make her sandwich. I finished and told her to make her plate. I looked over at her plate and said:
Funk: Don’t want to finish making your sandwich?
Dr. C: I made my sandwich.
Funk: What about the bread?
So, she finished making her plate and went into the den to eat. I walked in the den and she was asleep with the plate of resting perfectly on her lap. I woke her up and said:
Funk: Wake up and eat dinner, then you can get some rest
She wakes up, eats, and we start talking. Well, I’m half watching Family Guy when she says,
Dr. Cyndi: You ever have one of those days when -
That was all she got out. My wife fell asleep mid-sentence. That’s right, out like a light. Needless to say, I woke her up and proceeded to quickly help her up the stairs and into bed. She had to get ready for the next day (today) and pack some extra clothes because she’s working a 30 hour shift. She fell asleep every time she stopped moving. It was sad and depressing and funny as hell at the same time. I think she’ll be okay today, though. She was asleep before 8 O’clock.
Sincerely,

yes but has she forgotten the word for that "thing that goes on the bed on top of the sheets" again?
See, you know I'm not making this up. As brilliant as she is, they take it all, man. When she gets home, she can't even talk.
Is she an intern or a resident?
The first year in your residency is called your intern year in OBGYN. Other programs (surgery) have an intern year that won't necessarily be at the same location as your residency. This is the first year of a four year residency.
Will the next 3 years be like *this* year?
No, each year has different responsibilities. She will still rotate through all fields each year, but her level of responsibility will increase and the amount of scut work will decrease. Call works like this.
Years
1. OB and all grunt work.
2. GYN and scut work associated with it.
3. Help Intern deal with bad OB emergencies unless it is too much.
4. Sleep. Wake up when blood is pouring from walls - the last line of defence and the expert.
