no more ob...sad!

I have finished yet another rotation! One more rotation (peds) and I will be a forth year! This is exciting news! I am so slammed right now with things to do I can't even think about it. I am studying for boards (aug 23rd!), planning a wedding and planning my next year. I also am working on my application for residencies. I need to get working on my personal statement but have my cv done at least!

Can I just say that my OB/GYN rotation was once again great! My preceptor is just amazing. We had a long convo about other docs in the area and how the practice...he likes to make comments like if you were with so and so they would have done a c-section or an exploratory lap etc. Then we would talk about why he doesn't do that stuff in those situations and why I shouldn't either! Don't get me wrong I did disagree with him in some things but mostly I think he is a great doc! The rotation did make me baby crazy though. I really would love to have a baby but it just isn't the time. I feel like I have to PLAN EVERYTHING about my life from now on. I know I can't go to interviews being really pregnant, I don't think that would look very good!

Off to making sure I like my CV and starting a personal statement! I am writing two..one for Ob/gyn and one for family med-women's health tracks. I wish I had an in at an OB/GYN residency..but I don't..boo!

PS. I don't watch a lot of tv but I was watching 18 kids and counting and I saw the one have a wonderful homebirth..love it.

OB oh My

Delivered a baby today! It was very fun! We have another mommy-to-be in labor right now..she has been having contractions for the past day..her water broke this morning and my doc is just waiting for her to progress..we will see what happens I suppose. Maybe I'll get that call at like 2 in the morning! woohoo. Hoping she actually goes into labor. I am happy my doctor gives the ladies lots of time and lets them do things on their own..however, the hospital has limits so we will see what happens.

Hoping for a birth tomorrow!

Starting another 2 weeks of Ob/Gyn tomorrow! I am very excited...don't know though about being on call 24/7 for the next two weeks! I love the OB I am with and am hoping to learn a lot. Hoping it is good prep for boards! Can I say that I am sooo scared about boards..again! ugh.

I then have vacation for two weeks, and I am hoping to get a lot of stuff finished for the wedding and school rotations for next year. Why is everything adding up at one time? I suppose that is just how things happen..a big thumbs down on that.

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...
