(you really need to watch thursday night tv to get most of my references. calling people "sports fans" is from last week's "scrubs" episode. i am a devoted fan, even though i realize the show has long since run its course and should have wrapped up a few years ago...not unlike roseanne when it runneth over and we as a country collectively sighed in exasperation when the conners won the lottery and dan had a heart attack and all went into surreal crazy tv land...but dutifully continued to watch anyway because we knew at the heart of the show there was good(!) and we had been loyal all those years...)
so anyway...obgyn ended today. i'm feeling kind of sad. just as soon as i get settled in a rotation and feel like i know enough to do some good and to really get into the nuts and bolts of it, i'm moving on. and i'm petrified of family med. so far, with surgery and obgyn i've seen such narrow scopes of medicine. with family med, anyone any age with any problem can come in and i have to know how to find it and fix it. intimidating. so far i've been able to be the amazing ekg-less PA student and have been able to mumble my way through questions on drugs. not so for family med. but i'm hopeful i will get to do more women's health while i'm there.
my reviews were good from the obgyn rotation. i was told by a resident that i was better than 95% of the medical students who come through there (that SOUNDS flattering, but i have to tell you, that compliment has rather limited range) and by one of the attendings that i'm beyond most 1st year residents. that was nice. i guess if i pay attention, am helpful and friendly to the patients, and don't say too many stupid things (out loud), i get by. so far.
