The First Cut

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Okay so I have been recently back and forth about my career choice. I thought part of helping me decide would be getting a job in a Pharmacy because my Career choices have been Doctor or Pharmacist. Well I didn’t get the Pharmacy job that I was hoping to get (sucks!). Anyways I did a Med School tour Friday (16th) and had a BLAST!

I got to first go to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) which falls in with my March of Dimes volunteering. It is sooooo touching to see these little guys and girls fighting to stay alive.

The second thing I got to do was sit in on a Surgery. This has to be the best thing I have done and help me make the final call for what I want to be. I loved watching the surgery and knowing what was going on. It was very interesting to see the Dr’s doing their work, and no I wasn’t behind a glass wall. I was in the room with the Drs.. looking over their shoulders.

And before all that we had a GREAT speech that told you that a Dr’s true job is to remove the fear in medicine and sickness. Its not the healing its the removing fear. To be able to tell someone, I can fix that you take away the fear that something could kill you.

So I am now going to be a General Surgeon… now to just get my BA in Chem, then my MD so I can go and do Surg Residency.
