The Walking Dead

Tell me someone else is watching this show. I've been mainlining it during study breaks and gah, it's killing me.

I need someone to over-analyze story points with.

My guess is they've got some exaggerated stories, but not exaggerated in the places you might think.

But yes, that surgery rotation is killer, and you'll see some horrifying things in neuro/psych if you're in a hospital worth a damn.

I haven't been looking forward to that, although I've heard the NICU is where there's some real nastiness waiting if it's a bad time. I'm not sure what I want to really settle into yet, so I guess that's what the whole residency thing is for.

I've helped with a few surgeries just due to being on the spot, but I'm not sure yet if I'd want to go that route entirely. And I'm not sure general practice would suit either - dealing with the day to day stuff seems a little boring.

Yeah, I didn't volunteer for any extra pediatrics during med school - knew it wasn't my thing. Dying children? No thank you. I'll stick with adults. (Then you get into a general surgery residency, and you end up having to cut kids open anyway.)

But you have so much time to figure this out, so I wouldn't sweat it. Something will suddenly click.

So Jean said, and Amelia, and Clarice. I figure with you guys in my corner I'm not going to stress overly about the whole thing. It's nice to have people who've been there, done that.
