Since I'm starting the 2nd week of my first rotation, I figured this was as good of a time as any to put some of my impressions of the week into words. My first rotation is Radiology in Cookeville, TN. I thought this rotation would be a good one to ease myself into the "doctor world" since you see a little bit of everything, and it has done exactly that. It's been a blur of X-rays, CT's, MRI's, ultrasounds, and tons of other imaging. I love love love this rotation and it's not even one of the ones I thought I would! I've had unbelievably reasonable hours, free lunch (always a plus!), and the people are great! And its all anatomy all the time!!! What more could a girl want? As much as I want to enjoy the next two years, I hope I don't feel this way about every rotation, or else it's going to be really difficult to choose what I want to do for the rest of my life!
The only thing I wish I had more of in this rotation is patient interaction. When I see a patient, it is usually for a procedure, so there's not a lot of conversation, but I know that the rotations here on out will be more one-on-one patient-centered, so I'm going to enjoy Radiology and make the most out of each day!
The big event for this weekend is my brother's wedding! Saturday afternoon I will gain a brand new sister! I'm so excited for them and I love how happy they are! I know they're going to have a fantastic blessed and happy life together! And I really love to see our family grow!
