Almost...

Today was my last day of rotations as a medical student. Wow. Hard to believe it's over. This was a great month--a lot of learning, a great team, lots of cool cases and fun patients. Like the 4 year old boy today who told us all about the "cilia and mucous and skin and lymphocytes and stomach acid" that are his bodies natural defenses. I'm not kidding, this boy was super cute, and had a very advanced vocabulary for a 4 year old. I mean, I'm pretty sure I didn't know "lymphocyte" until I was at least 6. I do love getting to play doctor full-time. Makes me pretty excited to be a real doctor, even though it terrifies me at least as much as it excites me. Or twice as much.
