Update

So, it has been way too long since I have written on my blog and promise that it won't be this long again. I have now finished my third rotation: Psychiatry. And thank goodness I survived it. The doctor with whom I worked was awesome, the people at the office were great, but Psychiatry was just not for me. There is absolutely no way that I am going to be a shrink....ever! Since I am a lowly third year, I couldn't even do anything except basically shadow the doctor. It was frustrating to not be able to do anything on my own as well, it was frustrating to not have to think through anything; my entire month at the office, I didn't make one clinical decision that affected the treatment plan for a patient. But, I hope that Psychiatry is done for good (provided I passed my shelf exam, which was rather difficult). Just a few board questions here and there and I'll have enough Psychiatry to last a lifetime.

Now I am onto OB/GYN. This is the first rotation where I am truly excited and hope to really love it. I begin on midnights this week. This should be interesting since it is 9:45 and I just slept all night last night and I start tonight at 6pm. I hope to sleep this afternoon; if I don't it is going to be a heck of a night.

Another thing that is exciting is that I have been approved to work through my Christmas holiday. I will be on anesthesia following my OB/GYN rotation. It will be perfect timing to bring me to the New Year, at which point, I will be off for 7 weeks starting the beginning of Jan. for my surgery. Not long now!

Anywho, that is what is new and promise to post more exciting things in the near future :)
