 What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the channel. Welcome back to the vlog. It is another beautiful morning in New York City as per usual It is going to get a little hotter today, but it's not too hot yet and I have not had my coffee yet because You know, maybe if you heard from my last video, I had to I was gonna ship my coffee maker Back up to New York City from North Carolina, but it was too big in our small New York apartment So I just sold it and we're waiting on our other cute little coffee maker to come up But it's on back order because everything's on back order right now. So until then No one's to get coffee at this little coffee shop, which surprisingly I used to go to way back in the day When I was studying for your assembly step one And I used to go and study here. So it's kind of funny how things change and I'm doing to this coffee shop same coffee shop What six seven eight years later whenever it is so we're going to get some coffee now Andrana had her very first day of work today. She's a little nervous, but I'm sure she'll do great Well, we'll interview her later possibly If I can get a hold of her when she gets home Yeah, let's get some coffee now. And I have a crazy busy day today Even though I still don't start those you've got just some odds and ends I had to take care of so Let's do that now Well, that was a huge fail here because apparently that coffee shop doesn't open till 8 a.m. Which is crazy I think it's like COVID hours or something But I'm off to the next shop because the good thing about New York is there are about a million coffee shops give or take per square block So what you probably don't realize is that when you start a new fellowship or a new residency program you have to do Seemingly endless amounts of paperwork. I have to do a ton of training before I start next week I've already been doing a whole bunch of submission of a bajillion different documents I've already done a ton of like modules for the hospital. I've already contacted every training program med school You name it to get documentation that I'm in good standing from like 10 years ago. I've done everything cpr acls, servications You name it and now I have to do the whole electronic medical record training right now, which is Epic at my hospital. Many of you all have used epic before I actually used it the last four years at my hospital but now I have to go through all the training again because It's almost impossible to kind of get your transcripts from the prior training to opt out of this one So that's what I'm going to be doing the next couple of hours takes forever. I still have a whole bunch of modules after that and yeah Time to uh get to work It is exhausting to say the least It's actually so exhausting that my hospital Has offered to pay us three days worth of salary if we complete all this stuff on time That's all crazy the amount of paperwork and onboarding tasks We have to do so I'm obviously going to try and finish that today if I can Four or five hours all of that work I have to do which is absolutely insane If you think about it, I actually emailed the program coordinator Can ask her what the penalty would be if I didn't finish it all that's how much stuff it is Yes, people are yelling But I'm not complaining. I just think it's crazy how much stuff we have to do and we have to do this every single year every program we go into We always have to do something like this, but what can you do? I'd much rather spend my time making some youtube videos So now I'm going to get something to eat because I am beyond hungry Also, that may be 130, but Definitely getting a cheese bagel because I didn't eat breakfast. I was too busy doing I've been doing training and exercising Also because I haven't had a bagel yet since I've been here For like six hours now all of the epic training all of this like New York state infection control blah blah blah blah and I'm pretty exhausted. So I decided to come up on this beautiful day to my rooftop Read some entrepreneur magazine I don't ever get magazines. I just bought them because I was at the airport And I wanted to read something on the plane But I never got around to it because it was such a short flight. Anyways I'm gonna read it up here and enjoy the beautiful day I forgot if I mentioned or not that Androna's first day of work was today. So hopefully that went well I'll probably meet her somewhere in between here and work Tonight, maybe we can go grab a cocktail or something depending on what places are open But otherwise I'm gonna sit here read my magazine Relax, enjoy this beautiful rooftop while I can because before you know it It's gonna be winter and it's gonna be freezing up here. So I might have to end out the day up here All right, change of plans So basically I was pretty bored and The day is too beautiful So I figured I might as well I'll find a bike and explore a little bit So let's just say I was a little bored On the rooftop and I realized it was such a beautiful day that I might as well get out and explore Shout out to whoever told me on instagram about city bikes Well I knew about city bikes But you reached out to me and told me that health care workers or frontline health care workers in new york city get a three year membership With a certain code. So thank you so much for that Now I officially have One year free of riding this Which I'll probably take to and from work Because as you all know by now I love these things. I mean, especially if you get one of the electric ones You just kind of like barely pedal and it goes Is like nothing better Also, I've had a couple of people reach out to me and ask me what I'm doing in new york city Why I'm even here. Why did I move here from the great state of north calina? and Honestly, I kind of had no choice. I moved here because I signed a contract over a year ago For my fellowship Those of you who don't know I'm doing an interventional radiology fellowship Which is a one-year fellowship after you finish a diagnostic radiology residency So I did one year of surgery internship or my first year of residency followed by four years of diagnostic radiology residency followed by This final sixth year of interventional radiology Now I did almost seven months of interventional radiology this past year or my fourth year Of radiology residency and fifth year of residency as a whole So basically I kind of did like a little mini fellowship if you will But this coming year is a full 12 months straight of interventional radiology Which is my subspecialty that I'm subspecialized into if you've been a long time viewer of this channel You know that interventional radiology is a subspecialty of diagnostic radiology Just like neuro radiology or must feel skeletal radiology or Women's imaging so I matched into this program in new york city Over a year ago last june and if you've been around on this channel for a while You may have seen that prior video which I may link up here or maybe just leave it to my og subscribers So I matched up here over a year ago. It's basically a sign contract or it is a sign contract So it doesn't matter if there's a pandemic or whatnot So I'm here and I'm happy to be here I've never been happier as you can see I'm out and enjoying as much of this new york life As I can before I start fellowship because I'm worried. I won't have time to do this kind of thing anymore. So Well, I'm always going to have time to do it But between my schedule and andrata's work schedule It's going to be a little harder to coordinate and I may not have these full days off to kind of do what I want So I'm going to go explore a little bit on the east river and uh Yeah, let's go Just like that that concludes this new york city vlog vlog number two Make sure you smash the like subscribe button follow my instagram if you don't already If you like more vlogs like this in new york city, let me know in the comments below The first day of fellowship starts soon. So hopefully I'll still be able to do this kind of thing Otherwise, I'll see you all on the next video
