Announcement!

So I haven’t posted on here in ages though I do occasionally page through others posts. Anyway - just wanted to let you all know I’ve accepted a fellowship position!

I can’t say what in because- well it’s a small world and there aren’t too many Polish FMG docs but I wanted to tell you. I’m still getting over the shock of getting a residency and specializing is more than I could have ever hoped for!

Thank you all for being there for me through med school, residency, and now fellowship. It’s been quite the journey!

8 years ago to the day that I interviewed and was accepted into medical school. 8 years!!!

So much is different and yet it’s the same. I’m not the person I was then- I had no idea what I was getting myself in to haha I suppose I still don’t.

I wish I could tell myself no to worry so much- that in the end everything ends up okay.

Time is a crazy thing!!!

Guys!!! It’s here!!!!!

Drove 10+ hours to hear all about this and I feel like a new Harry Potter book came out!

Hands down the best conference I’ve ever been at. To be in the room debating the current standards with the people who wrote them was fantastic!!!

So I lied clinic is not goint to be chill this go around.

I checked my messages first thing and found 70+ patient calls and refill requests because our office staff decided that my patients weren’t important last week and no one refilled anything or called anyone back. Then they realize they made a mistake with the schedule and put a fellow resident down as working when he is not. So I was gifted all of his patients as well as my own to see today.

Any chance of post vacation happiness has been murdered by the clinic office staff.

Just ran in to a hospitalist who is also an alumni of my school but from the Polish program. It made my heart so happy to talk about the place I miss so much with someone who misses it as much as I do!

My favorite night spent in the ER as a med student I put almost 70 sutures into a guys hand who decided he’d try to blow it off with a firework.  

I had put in about 4 sutures prior to that. 

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BLOW YOURSELVES UP THIS EVENING. 

Otherwise, you will be helping to teach some other overly excited medical student learn how to suture. 

Consider yourself warned. 

Presenter (speaking to current interns): It’s good to review all of this. You guys are going to be alone next month, no ones going to help you.

My Program Director: That’s not entirely true… we might give you a medical student.
