With no patient responsibilities and clinics running only Mondays to Fridays (just like regular folks!), I&#8217;ve had time to catch up on reading, re-grout the bathroom tiles, and even finish the short but oh-so-sweet single-player campaign from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.callofduty.com\/\">Call of Duty 4<\/a>. From aerial assaults with an IR camera to sniper missions in a ghillie suit, the gaming experience was almost reminiscent of a Michael Bay action flick. In the meantime, while the summer sizzle is keeping me cooped up in my air-conditioned room, I&#8217;ve started another game called <a href=\"http:\/\/assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com\/\">Assassin&#8217;s Creed<\/a>, where you play an assassin from a secret brotherhood in late 12th century Jerusalem whose objective is to knock off nine baddies involved in propagating the Crusades. It&#8217;s fun leaping across rooftops and kicking it Wuxia-style, but the most satisfying (and stress-relieving) part is sneaking up to the enemy and pouncing onto them with your hidden blade. Hehehe, so awesome. Anyway, this should keep me occupied until I get my copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.konami.jp\/mgs4\/us\/index.html\">MGS4<\/a>, the final chapter of the defining series in the stealth action genre. I&#8217;ll just keep my fingers crossed that not too many sick people show up in the MICU next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My elective block this month has been a welcomed change from the intensity of the CCU.
