My first two day of Internal Medicine....

You know that dream where you're standing naked in front of your class while giving a speech. That one everyone seems to show on television. By the way anyone ever have that dream or is it a made up concoction of someone's subconsciousness? Well I've never had the "pleasure" of experiencing that "pleasantry", however I feel like I can now relate. The first day on my rotation was more of an experience proving to myself how little I know in relation to real world medicine. Yea I can run the medicine category in Jeopardy but in terms of holistic knowledge I'm light years behind the health care industry.

I've seen people in all walks off life so far, from the ones given a second chance at life to those of the opposite side of the spectrum. While the range of emotions that encompassed the last two days are like a trying to describe a sixty four pack of crayola crayons without using the surnames. And after walking around for nine hours a day, being drilled incessantly, I have to say I enjoy it. But then again, maybe it's because I was brought up in a nudest colony.

Joke of Day from a neurologist:

"How do you tell if a doctor is lying?"
"If his lips are moving!"


Till next time....
