| | So as of today, I have finally finished my Internal Medicine rotation. It was busy busy busy!!! Thankfully, I ended my specialty Cardiology rotation with a good evaluation and finished 2 days of exams. I'm happy about the evaluation because at this point i'm interested in internal medicine and I worked pretty hard at the IMCU. Apparently i'm above average for my level. Well, I don't think so but as long as they think i am! Unlike the past, there was no study break so I was going into the exams solely based on whatever i've learnt or read throughout the rotation. But finally... a week of rest!
I'm happy for the IMU seniors here. They've done well for themselves and managed to match into residency positions in the US and Canada. I hope i'll be able to do the same.
Tomorrow i'll be flying off to Washington DC. Since being in clerkships, i've come to realize that i've gotta go out and see the world every damn chance i get. We don't have much free time in medicine, and i guess the good thing about being in it is that it makes you appreciate your free time more and you actually go do more useful things with it. I can't wait to go do touristy things like take pictures at the White House. Monday i'll try to get my brother to pick me up from DC to go stay with him in Baltimore for a week. The thing is he is starting his clerkships as well and is on call tomorrow. Which stinks because it is a sunday. I can't wait to see my brother! He has a frikin grand piano at his home. I'm going to attempt to play again. I really do miss it. Recently i've fallen in love with it again and in between studying i've been watching documentaries on piano greats like Horowitz, Rubinstein, Richter, etc.
I'm quite exhausted. It has been some year. The good thing about medicine is, aside from the studying, it is hard to get bored. There is just so much to do, learn, and ponder upon. Tonight we'll celebrate a brithday of a friend. That should be nice. It's good to see the imu peeps once in a while. Meanwhile i gotta pack, do my laundry, and prepare for my adventure next week.
Oh shit, i'll be starting Pediatrics next week and i dont think im looking forward to that. I'm not good with kids and they tend to push me around. You work with a different set of rules in a children's hospital. I don't know the rules. Time to transition away from the sick elderly world.
