It is that time of the year again!

On my way to DC for DO Day on the Hill. I am very excited about this. DO Day is one of my favorite things of the year. It feels so good to be lobbying for healthcare and to be an active physician-to-be. My first time I must say I was nervous to speak to the senators but now I am just excited..getting all of my points that I want to make on paper so I don't sound like a fool! I am one of the lucky ones who always seems to meet with my senator and representative..not sure how that happens! (maybe it is because last year I chased down my representative in the hall going to a vote to talk to him, it is good to know what these people look like lol) I wish more people were coming to Washington, it seems like there are hardly any people coming from my school this year! This stinks but what can you do! I think the more active you are and the more you talk to the people with some power you can get things done, we just need more people to be pro-active! Wish me luck in pushing my politics..eek!

What a long day!

Today was my school's OSCEs (at least for me!), which is their version of the PE. It was a very long day. I am still lost as to how I missed some of the cases, which makes me laugh! I really should focus more on what is going on! How on earth did I miss that a lady was having a stroke? hmm maybe because she said she has been having the symptoms for a few weeks..besides what could we do at that point? I am losing my mind!

hilarious...

Say it ain't so...

A forth year today told me she matched into Ob/Gyn. Is it bad that after she said this I thought of saying "really? I wouldn't want you as my ob..you are so, well, unfriendly!"? Eek. I can just see her being very forceful with her patients but maybe I am so wrong because I only see one side of her, maybe, she is completely different with her patients. Hmmm...I guess we all end up doing what we are supposed to do? right? I AM SO SCARED ABOUT THIS!

Confusion

I pretty much have always been stuck on OB/GYN. I really love it and I think it is what I want to do, however, I am having a lot of problems with it right now. It is hard to decide when everything you read or hear is NOT to do it. Is it really going to be that difficult? I don't know right now if I should do it now. There are other things I am interested in, so maybe I should do one of those. It is really stressful right now! I think if I did Ob/Gyn I would be a great advocate for women and their births. However, I am nervous about being on call everyday all day and about the malpractice. Is that why they say don't do Ob/Gyn? Why is this so difficult? Why can't I know 100% what I want to do with my life? Ugh

On other news, this mine explosion is not so far from me and it is really rocking the community. I feel really bad for the miners and their families and am keeping them in my thoughts and prayers!
