New PA

So... 2 days of sitting in a conference room learning about history of the facility, policies, and the like... very long, very boring, and sometimes overwhelming. Done. Turns out that they need me in Prairie du Chein longer than origionally thought. Apparently they're short 3 physicians... and have some issues getting doctors to want to work in middle of nowhere Wisconsin. So, I'm going to be orienting there the rest of this week and then starting to see patients down there on Monday. I get an office that's mostly just mine, occasionally have to share it with a medical student, so that should be pretty good. I hope it has a window. So, I could easily be there for at least 6 months depending on how long it takes them to fill those positions. At least I usually like driving and I'll be getting paid mileage. So... that's my life so far. I'll keep you posted!
