Sorry I have been slacking! I started my last med school rotation....hematology/oncology. It's for 3 weeks and I just finished week 1. Now I officially have 2 weeks of medical school left and 2 weeks until Match Day! Anxious, nervous, excited, amazed, happy...these are only a few of the emotions right now.
Heme/Onc has been a good rotation. I mostly work with an attending who deals with lymphomas and leukemias so it's cancer all day long which can be overwhelming. But I've learned in this short week how important compassion and empathy are in this profession...not that I didn't realize this before but it comes to a head when you are diagnosing and discussing cancer treatments everyday. I don't think this is something I could do for the rest of my life but I enjoyed this week and am looking forward to the next 2 weeks. The patients are great and I've learned so much already.
Nothing exciting planned this weekend. Poor Zach is on call Saturday. We are gonna try to have a date night tonight if he can get out of the hospital at a reasonable time. He REALLY wants to see Alice in Wonderland (which I have NO desire to see). Tim Burton movies are not my favorite and I know I won't like this movie but I promised Zach I would go....so we'll see. We still need to see Avatar and maybe I'll try to talk him into that instead since it's the premiere of Alice and Wonderland and the theater will probably be packed!
Scheduled my dress fitting for March 20th and then headed back to Charlotte on March 27th for a bridal shower!!!
