Tripped at the finish line

Two days left in intern year, post call, and I start getting fevers and chills in the cafeteria. No biggie, probably just a flu or whatever. I get home and then ensues the worst 24 hours of my life. Fevers, chills, rigors, nausea, vomiting, intolerance of oral intake more than 10cc. I seriously thought death was upon me, but if it wasn't I seriously wished it would come.

That being said it was a pretty disappointing way to end intern year. My senior residents tell me about how they get through residency without a single sick day, and I land one right at the finish line before my first year. I feel pretty weak, but honestly, I think projectile vomiting is where I draw the line.

Still, last day of intern year coming up. Hurrah hurrah!
