Ok Ok, here I hang my head in shame. Yes, it truly has been TEN months since my last post. Does that make me a bad blogger? Maybe, but in reality, it speaks measures of what its like being an intern! Frankly, being an intern suckkkks. Bad. Period. For those of you unversed in medical jargon, an intern is a first year resident, aka PGY1, aka bottom of the totem pole, aka master of scut, aka glorified secretary! I could go on, but I won't because it just makes me realize how awful it truly is. We start the year off with what I like to call "intern brain" which is basically the brain of a medical student held captive in the body of a DOCTOR! Yep, decisions with an intern brain... scarry?!
Needless to say, the last ten months have been the best and worst, super exciting but also terrifying. I have climbed the steep learning curve and feel that my intern brain has grown exponentially. I no longer feel that I will kill someone every time I make a decision without asking someone else first. I've witnessed death when it has been welcomed and also when it was one's worst fear. I've seen healing and gratitude like no other. These are the moments I already cherish. Do I have stories? Boy, do I have stories! Those will come in time. Right now, I live day to day trying to finish out this year. Two more months.... STRONG!
