Just moved from Texas. Pulled one off my scalp after walking hickory hill last week. Being a wooded area I wasn’t shocked, figured I’d just put on extra bug spray next time. Haven’t been back out as I’ve been busy with onboarding at the hospital. Self checks pretty much daily since. Only other outdoor stuff was taking my dog outside and hot tub. Pulled a new one off of my scalp probably 10 minutes ago

I’m a physician and tick-borne illness is heavily emphasized on board exams so the fear is real

Had our GME orientation today, I think I’m finally done with them. The obligatory “everyone say your name, your specialty, and a fun fact about yourself.” The intro lectures from GME faculty members that you will never see again unless you’re in some serious trouble. The “we want you to be well” lectures coming from folks that know damn well you’re gonna be putting up 80 hours a week or more regularly.

I always hated those. Just work me to death already.
