Wednesday, October 29, 2008 Big Bucks Without Big Debthttp://hotjobs.yahoo.com/career-articles-big_bucks_without_big_debt-550 WTF Dental hygienist? why am i looking at people's poop and colon all day (surgery rotation...lots of colonoscopies). i should just quit med school. j/k i'd rather look at poop than inside someone's slimy smelly mouth w/ rotten teeth. Tuesday, October 07, 2008 I realized today, I may not want to go into Internal Medicine. So far, I have done Family Medicine, Peds and Int. Med. They say that you will either hate all your rotations (except maybe the one you want to go into), or you will love them all. I thought I would like all my rotations. I was doing ok with Int. Med these last 2 weeks. It's basically doctoring old people. I realized today, I don't want to just see old people. They have so many problems, chronic problems, that you will never be able to cure, or at times, you can't even treat and manage. At times, you may just shrug it of (figuratively speaking) and move onto something you can help them with. But today, I had an epiphany! I want to see young people! I want to see little kids, young adults. People that can put smiles on your face and aren't grouchy all the time. Old people bring me down. It's depressing. They rarely smile, they aren't happy. Occasionally you get those cute old people who put a smile on your face, but you just don't see it enough! So, IM may be out of the question for me. I am still considering FM. You get young, old, pregnant, crazy. All sorts! Ideally, if i were to choose FM, I would want to do hospital stuff too, so we'll see how that is in CA whether that is common or not. As of right now, I enjoyed FM and Peds so we'll see where this takes me.Wednesday, September 24, 2008 i have no words to explain this, except Vanessa, look at this! wtf???Jimmy Eat World-Beautiful Day-Yo Gabba Gabba Monday, September 22, 2008 So...I'm finally updating. Let me catch everyone up, on my life, i.e. rotations.Family Medicine: too long ago (2 months), I can't remember. I liked it for a while, but got a bit bored towards the end. but it was still fun, i like the variety, but i hate seeing complicated patients with 10 different medical problems. Peds: I am expanding my hickville vocabulary: Rotten- "my kid is so cute he's rotten", but not like "spoiled rotten". i can't even explain this one Honary - "he's got such a temper like his father, he's honary" Flip - aka "snap" your fingers i liked peds. they were basically little patients. it was fun. i guess i still have my patience with kids. saw one crazy case where this 4 year old named Austin said that he has a "red eyed Austin" and a "green eyed Austin" in him. He was the sweetest kid, but he said whenever red eyed austin came out, he would destroy everything in his path. it was creepy the way he described these 2 personalities. Internal Medicine: "Doctor, doctor! I can't breathe, I've been dealing with chronic coughing, I'm coughing up thick yuck, I can't sleep at night!" "Are you still smoking?" "Yeeaah, so? I was able to breathe real good yesterday." "Um...STOP SMOKING AND MAYBE YOU'LL BREATHE GOOD EVERYDAY!" Thursday, March 13, 2008 my "quiz" today wore me out! but guess what, my spring break has begun! sort of because i'm still stuck here. and i have to study for boards over my break. and i have to study for my endocrine test. and i miss california weather. but....my mommy is coming to visit me tomorrrorooooow!!! and i get to go visit chris in 2 weeks!!!! Thursday, January 17, 2008 it must be the stress of my upcoming exam, or the fact that i haven't had a normal conversation with anyone for more than 5 minutes, or that i haven't seen peter in 2 weeks (we've gone longer) but he knows me so well. he sent me an email reminding me of what i needed to bring to his place in order to go snowboarding and cook him and his friends the only vietnamese dish i know how to cook: pho. i usually am or at least i pretend i am, very self-sufficient. i like to think i make my own decisions, and decisions not persuaded or biased by another. I like to take care of myself, not be dependent on others. at least i like to think so. but i know its not true. he knows that sometimes i need the reminder. he knows just exactly how absent-minded i get around exam time. as much as i deny it, sometimes i need some help...w/life. he knows just how much my life revolves around studying when it comes to exam time...or anytime for that matter. i kid you not, sometimes i will go a full day w/o leaving my study room and the next thing i will realize is that it is time for bed! life outside my studies does not really exist (that doesn't mean i study all the time, i like my down time w/ friends after my exams or when i am procrastinating, but i get carried away w/ studying sometimes). hence the early bird happy bday txt msg to vanessa on her bday...i knew the day would be over sooner than i would realize. it tends to happen. anyways, i'm am rambling on b/c i have been studying all day and i am delirious. alright, enough of a study break, back to studying then sleep!Wednesday, December 19, 2007 i just registered for my board exams this summer. *shudder* a little too real...so the board exam that everyone name drops is for real?!!? wuhhhaaat?the date i get my life back: June 9, 2008 |
