I made it
In just a few days I will begin my final year of residency. Starting once again, on night float :-/ Ah well, what can you do. It seems strange to think I have been jotting down intermittent thoughts here since my pre-med days, all the way up to now, when I will be finishing up residency and beginning a fellowship. I look back at myself and sometimes wonder how I had the dedication to stick it through. There is never any hint of doubt in my posting that being in medicine is what I wanted to do, although there is lots of doubt about the path I thought I could or would take.
And yet despite all that I made it. Muddled through step 1,2,3 of the usmle, obtained my medical license, my DEA card, my NPI number, more letters after my last name than anyone really cares about and I still have another 4 years of training.
That said, This friday, when I start as an r3, no matter how stressful any given patient or night may become…
…I made it.

You’ve put in a lot of hard work and it will all pay off. And then someday you’ll be able to pay off all the loans.
And get a wife. And a convertible. And a dog named Gimble who only has three legs.
And then that Hawkeye outfit and a MASH tent.
congrats. now the good life starts. for real.
