Hooray

I am in my third week of psych..and I don't mind it! I got to watch ECT today and tomorrow I get to 'push the button'. eek!

I want to say a big yay! MY fiance's brother and his wife had their baby early this morning..haven't heard much about the delivery yet though! Juniper Evelyn Berger

Oh Boy

Finally on a rotation where I can just chill..Psych! It is really easy and laid back. Even though I am not doing much or learning anything for that matter, I think this rotation was much needed. I have so much on my plate right now so it is nice to have the time to figure things out.

Planning the wedding is going along slowly but I feel okay about everything. Jeremiah is really helping with everything so that is nice. It is great that both of us our involved.

Planning next year out is completely opposite. I am trying to figure out what rotations to do and where. I really like OB/GYN of course but now am second guessing my decision based on all the factors you have to consider! i.e. residency life, lifestyle after graduating, money, ability to have a family and children, and the list goes on. I have started researching being a Laborist..who knows?? If I don't do OB what should I do for a living? I would like to think about peds but really I don't think I would be able to pay back my student loans that well. This is such a hard decision. I just don't know what I want to do for the rest of my life that will make me happy..it isn't like I can just switch!

At least it is warm outside so I can take long walks to figure this stuff out in my head...ha!

I've made it...almost

ONE MORE DAY LEFT..of internal med! I am so happy that it is almost over because I really can't take it anymore. I feel like I have been on fam med for another 8 weeks and it is killing me. It isn't that I don't like family med, it is just that I am so gosh darn bored. Also, my doctor is kind of an ass but I guess you will get that on rotations. Hmm...I am also deciding I hate 'medicine'..i.e. taking care of people who just have HTN, diabetes or sinus infections...now a pregnant woman with HTN that is a different story lol!

I am starting psych next..in the psych ward woooo. It should be okay I hope! I am soo not into psych at all.

Signed up for another ob rotation for my elective in May. Very excited about it! I am picking what residency programs I am looking at now and am busy setting up rotations for next year. This is really hard, esp when you get no direction from your school.

umm..yeah

This I hope is going to be good but I really don't know. I actually live here (well, in West Virginia at least) which is sad. It is so true that people here are so unhealthy! Ohhh West Virginia. I just hope the show doesn't play up all those stereotypes out there about wvers.

ugh

Why do some docs feel like they have to abuse their students just because they were abused at some point during their schooling. Hey DOC you aren't teaching me by asking me questions over and over and over again!

Happy V-DAY!!!

Here I am again...

Whoa...I feel like I haven't been on here in forever but really it has only been 4 weeks. I have been on my rural family med rotation in RURAL West Virginia, which was very interesting because, well, I got to meet some very interesting people. It was awesome actually. My doc was super laid back and very nice. I, however, had to leave early several times and showed up late several times due to snow (hello we have gotten like 50 inches in the last month!). This led to me driving to and from work white knuckled most days...there is no such thing as a straight road here (at least one that goes for very long!).

I have started to figure out my fourth year..first thing was scheduling my boards! AHHH. August 23rd for the written..I was hoping I could take it the 20th but no dates were available then, maybe some will open up. I don't know when to take the PE yet. It is also 1100 bucks, so I am not sure how I am paying for it either! I am trying to decide where to do my electives and what not. It sure is a lot to think about right now..whoever said 3rd year was easier was right but I think it is a lot more stressful too!

I am setting up things for my wedding too! It is very exciting. We set the date, the location and the place for reception..now we are working on the food. It is a lot of work. I did get my dress though, exciting!
