After 3 months of rotation, I can safely say that there are some rotations I LOVE, and some, I do not enjoy. What should I say to update you about my life.
Nothing much, to be honest. I am on my 4th rotation, and it is an FM rotation in LA. Eventhough the hours are alright, the daily traffic commute is unbearable, and honestly, I do not enjoy outpatient medicine as much.
I do understand the lifestyle is much chiller and with correct managing, one can become very wealthy. However, I just don't really like it that much. I like working with a larger group of individuals. I like being walking around the hospital. I like meeting different patient and seeing them back to back. I like to see their conditions improve after their hospital stay. I like speaking to different specialists and see the immediate result of my lab test and scans that I order.
I don't want to deal with patient compliance. As much as I like seeing patient again months after months, I still perfer working with a larger staff. It keeps things new and refreshing. As much as I learn a lot from this FM rotation, I think maybe, I still enjoy the fast pace of inpatient setting.
Also, right now, I'm constantly overwhelmed. I feel like I am responsible for my schooling, my living situation, my next meal, my weight, my 4th year schedule, my VSAS, my upcoming residency application. So much to do and to think about. Honestly, I feel like I'm 1 disaster away from a complete meltdown. But I know I have my family, my loving cousins, my caring friends. I am forever grateful for the support of so many people in my life.
3rd year is no joke. I find it very difficult and challenging. I has pushed and pulled me in ways that I feel is good for my development, but it is also very exhausting and draining too.
I still like didactic week very much. It brings back old characters that I love and the moments we have with each other.
