approaching the end of the second month and counting...

so my endeavor to try to write everyday had not been a successful one...but nonetheless here i am finishing up my second month of internship and am wondering to myself...how did two months already pass yet also feel like "oh my goodness i feel like have been doing this forever"---quite the dichotomy i must say. i now know why we are told to get our financial aid paperwork in order before starting internship as those things and well life in general are pushed to the wayside during this thing called residency...so for my few and beloved readers...here is a bite of my life right now but hope to continue to keep things updated as much as i can.

been a few days...

I find more and more that our medical system is inefficient and that systems-based practice is the source of many problems in the system. Allocation of resources is not exactly appropriate either. Been working in ambulatory medicine for a few weeks and covered a wards call shift that was a very busy 30-something hours---and completely without any rest...let alone sleep. Specialty is still a problem for me and is even more of an enigma right now than ever.
