My research year is absolutely flying by. I've accomplished so many things already: submitted two abstracts to a symposium and helped get a case study published, made major progress on my primary proj...

TONS of things have happened since last I wrote, and I figure the easiest way to address them all (or at least the major stuff) is to do so in chronological order.

I'm still more or less in a state of denial, but I'm at least peripherally aware that I'm done with my M3 clerkships. Like, completely done. Took the last exam, submitted all my evaluations, done. I e...

I had a somewhat eye-opening experience yesterday. I had just gotten back into Ann Arbor the night before and, in typical fashion, already had the day booked solid with appointments, errands, vi...

"DeBakey. 3-0 monocryl. LigaSure." (Try it; it's all the rage.)

I've heard a (preposterous) rumor that my classmates and I are officially halfway done with our core M3 clinical rotations. I refuse to believe that this is fact, but figure it's only fair that I pass...

I've now officially completed TWO clerkships! I finished clinical duties Sunday evening and took my ob/gyn shelf exam this morning.  I still consider myself to be quite the novice when it comes to ...

I feel like I've expressed this sentiment so many times that anyone reading is like, "WE GET IT ALREADY," but medical school passes by so quickly that it seems to defy the laws of physics. …Not t...

It feels like it's been approximately a gajillion years since I last wrote (and, upon checking the date, it nearly has been that long. Oops?)

Last I wrote I was preparing for my first OR adventure. I'm proud to say I (obviously) survived and, what's more, didn't do anything exceedingly embarrassing! It went far better than I possibly could ...

My posts always seem to coincide with the end of a sequence: funny coincidence, that. We just finished our neuro sequence and it was EPIC. The one disease process we didn't discuss is exactly what hap...

Geez, I thought time passed quickly last year… It's already mid-October?!? We've plowed through three sequences since the beginning of the year: cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal. Tomorrow we ...

Holy cannoli… We're two weeks into M2 year and I already find myself pretty much exhausted. The expectations were much greater right from the get-go: there's a ton of information that we need to ...

As the title suggests, I still find it hard to believe that it even is summer (Floridian, what can I say). The truth is that summer is not only here, but officially passing by waaaaay too quickly. The...

M1 year is officially over!! I'm not ready to consider myself an M2 just yet, but I'm willing to respond to 'M1.5.' It's a step in the right direction, at least.
