I just took note of the span between my last two posts. I beat my previous record of a year and half: this time it was a year and 10 months. One wonders why I even have a blog.
After my 9/11 post and reading the posts of old friends regarding the same, I feel inspired to blog once again. That’s how these things work, right? Fits and starts until some consistency is achieved?
As an update for anyone wondering: I have managed to not be expelled from med school. Those who know me at any depth may non-ironically consider this to be an achievement. Currently I am involved with the third year curriculum, that is clinical rotations. For those not in the know, clinical rotations are the periods of practical medical education following a couple years of didactic education.
I am drawing to the close of my six week Surgery rotation. Contrary to any of my preconceptions, I have thoroughly enjoyed this clerkship – one that has a reputation of exhausting students and grinding on their emotional fortitude. Am I a future surgeon? Too early to tell, but I have come as far as putting it on the list for consideration. I still have a full year of rotations to go!
Next on the docket: 1) six weeks of OB/Gyn followed by 2) six weeks of pediatrics. I have high hopes for both. I also have high hopes for these clinical experiences to inspire more frequent blogging, without violating HIPAA, of course. That would get me kicked out of med school…

You SHOULD blog about med. school...that would be really interesting!
Well done. Good to hear a little about your current adventures. I think I'd trust you as a surgeon, but at the moment I keep visualizing some of your less graceful moments as a doubles partner on the tennis court and wondering what that means for your fine motor skills and dexterity. Better not to consider it. Good luck - and try to post again before the decade's up!
