This comic is brought to you by my surgery rotation- what a way to round off third year! Surgery is a world of its own- I’ve got a couple more surgery-based comics in the vault.
I’m publishing this post on Tuesday night instead of Wednesday because I want to give my 4 AM bleary-eyed self a break tomorrow morning.

Last week was Spring Break! On my homebound flight westward, I watched two great movies- First Position and Bill Cunningham New York. On the return flight, I drew these comics in the style of Kate Beaton’s vacation doodles.

Whenever you leave the room of a patient with a confirmed Clostridium dificile infection, don’t forget to wash your hands with soap and water! C. dificile is spread from person to person via spores, which are not affected by Calstat and other isopropyl alcohol-based cleansers.
What does work? Soap and water for your hands, and sodium hypochlorite (aka bleach) for your stethoscope!

From The American College of Gastroenterology’s guidelines-
Alkaline glutaraldehyde, sodium hypochlorite, and ethylene oxide are effective in killing the spores as well as the vegetative forms ofC. difficile that persist on fomites, instruments and contaminated surfaces, but none of these are satisfactory for handwashing, which is still best carried out with ordinary disinfectant soaps or chlorhexidine, despite their limited power to kill C. difficile spores

On the hospital floor, you’ll regularly see mobile computer workstations, affectionately known as COWS. They are prime real estate; as such, being a masterful COW herder is a valuable skill.

Wow, Google’s good.
Google also clearly realized that Match Day is always the third Friday of every year. And so, you can search for Match Day into the distant or not-so-distant future! (To be technical, the most distant you can go is 2020. Try it!)

One for the med student. And one for the resident.
