Dear Reader, please accept my sincere apologies. Since I passed my COMLEX Level One medical boards exam this past March I have sorely neglected keeping you abreast of all that has happened.
The reason for my silence is due not from any desire on my part to distance myself from you. Quite on the contrary, it has been your prayers and support that have so much helped my family and myself get through the past two years of struggle and failure. Rather, my silence is a byproduct of the extraordinary busyness that has since consumed me. As of this weekend, I have completed four clinical rotations: Internal Medicine (I & II), Pediatrics, and Obstetrics/Gynecology.
What are clinical rotations you ask? Each lasting a month, clinicals (as they are called) are when, for a third year medical student, medicine moves from the classroom to the patient room. It is here that we learn to apply what we have so arduously learned during the first two years. Needless to say, the past four months have been far more exciting, enthralling, and electrifying than anything thus experienced in med school.
Because of the vast amount of time involved in actual patient care, I have neglected reaching out to you. I commit to you that this shall not happen again. You have so much encouraged my family and myself. Future blog updates may be much abbreviated, again due to pressed time, but, with God's help, updates WILL happen. I aim to be in touch no less than once a week, sometimes even more frequently.
Thank you, dear Reader, for your time. I look forward to our time together. Until then, for me, it’s back to the patients!
