While crippled and in pain from throwing out my back (whilst doing yoga...who does that, seriously...isn't yoga supposed to be good for you and all that junk, help stretch you out... COME ON NOW!!!), thought it would be fun starting a blog of all my random thoughts and such. So I'm in my third year of medical school still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. got some ideas, maybe, but have more nots than yes. For instance, I'm so over surgery. Had the not so funnest rotation, and standing for hours in a contorted posture while holding back someone's fat flap so the surgeon can get to their insides is not my idea of fun, especially after two hours (or ten sometimes). Internal medicine... I think I'll pass. it's more like micromanaging and writing notes... after one too many hand-cramps I was ready to move on. It's more like," Oh, your potassium is high, let's give you this med and see what happens the next day." Also, having the same obese diabetic hypertensive patients day in and day out kind of got to me. They refuse to learn and try to do something about their conditions. Kind of frustrating.

Had a great time on my OB/GYN rotation, the most enjoyable as of yet, but those people have no lives. Their lives are their patients. They're there all the time and always have to be ready at any time of the day (or night) to be called in to deliver a baby. What's wrong with these fetuses, don't they know I need to sleep? Also, the one day in clinic where I had preggers who all had white cheesy itchy discharges... lets just say for a while I had no desire to even think about putting anything of mine anywhere near anyhting with XX chromosomes. Doing Peds now... teens are annoying, and babies mostly uncooperative. Is it so hard to open your mouth so I can see the dime you swallowed in the back of your throat? Is it so difficult to keep your head still so I can stick this instrument in your ear and look around in your wax impacted ear? Don't you know it's all about me? Who cares about your bloody discharge from your ear, let me poke around and learn, learn, learn!!! At least I have a few more months before I have to make any kind of decisions. Stay tuned!!!
