Now that we live in The Junction Kristi has taken on more responsabilities. While she was at KUMED she was just a 1st year resident, she was at the bottom of the food chain. Here at the Junction things are different, she is not just a second year resident, she is treated almost like a peer by the other doctors. She has had more hands on experience and better learning opportunities, and ever since people at church figured out she is a physician many of the church memebers have switched over to her to be their primary care physician. Everyone here has been very nice and they are all very thankful she is here. She has become a celebrity as well, they even published an article on her on the local news paper which was picked up by the paper in Yuma, where Kristi is from, and they decided to do an article on her as well. Another great thing is that when she is on call it actually mean that she is on call, she gets to come home and take questions from nurses and other docs about patients over the phone and go in only if needed. The best one thus far happened a week or so ago when I overheard her take a call from nurse who had a question to which Kristi replied "is it fishy or cottage-cheesy" ...............don't really want to know what they were talking about.
