Wayfaring MD

I like to highlight the hilarious in medicine as I write about patients, medical school, residency, medical missions, and whatever else strikes my fancy. Oh yeah, and I like to use GIFs!

And for the 5,000th time, let me clarify that I am female.

From the Archives: Great Moments in the Life of a Third Year Med Student

  •  Your first night on 30 hour call 
  • Learning to be able to sleep almost anywhere.       
  •    The post call shower (few feelings in life are as glorious as this). 
  • Coming to the realization that no matter how ugly they may be, Danskos are the jam when you’ve been standing for 18 hours.   
  •    The first time you get pimped and actually know the right answer. 
  •    Scrubbing into surgery for the first time. 
  •    Getting to suture a patient for the first time.              
  •    Seeing a beating heart in surgery 
  •    The first time you feel the edge of a liver or spleen.      
  •    The first time you find the cervix without asking for help 
  • The first time you hear a heart murmur less than a IV/VI  
  • The first time you discover a heart murmur on your own. 
  •    Seeing a baby born.                          
  •  Taking off your heavy white coat at the end of the day.
  •    Sitting down, even if it’s on the floor. 
  • Turning in your beeper at the end of the year.
