the brainchild of the quadrumvirate

one lonely call night, 4 brilliant new senior residents made time between brilliantly teaching on the wards, admitting ailing children, and brilliantly writing brilliant research theses to concoct a plan to bring their fellow residents even closer. closer than the CHO class of 2009 already was? impossible!! yet there were those who feared the dark times to come, in the dead of winter, amidst a sea of RSV and AGE, times when the class of 2009 might not have the strength to overcome the iniquities of the admit pager, when the class of 2009 might not have the endurance to overcome 30 straight hours of mind-numbing admissions and endless rounds upon rounds upon rounds, when the class of 2009 might not have the wisdom to realize that the hospital really would fall apart without them. thus, it was in the spirit of CHO, brought forth by the inspiration of our forefathers, who themselves have made their spirits available to us, that this blog was thusly created. let it be a forum for all to post their joys, their dread, the heart-wrenching moments, their triumphs in IV placements, their champagne taps (and bloody ones), and the vomitus O the vomitus especially found deep into call on a sunday far removed from the civilized world where young professionals are out laughing and enjoying the sunshine and the shade and 2 whole days off in a row. EVERY. WEEK. may this blog serve us all well. and may the force be with us.

(for future reference, there are CHO blogs at http://cholife2007.blogspot.com and http://choresidents2008.blogspot.com)
