sheer exhaustion

This week has been hell. I have already worked over 60 hours in 4 days. I was warned neuro was tough, and I had bad luck being the only student on. I have never left the hospital before 8:30pm, and get here at 5:30am. No lunch most days. And it doesn't help that the neurologist on the service, known for being the work a holic of the hospital, took pictures of our patient board today because it is the busiest it has been in over 6 months. I broke down in tears in the bathroom after being bitten by one of my patients today. 4 more days to go...I hate this hell.
