Why??
Because of a great danger associated with medical school about which, heretofore, I was blissfully unaware, namely this - medical school is all consuming. First and second year were tough, no doubt about it. Third year, however, has been a monster on time. Put simply, there isn't any. Between rotations, tests, busy-work from the school, and family, this blog has fallen behind. If you are thinking about going to medical school, please know that, as the years progress, you will have less and less time. This fact becomes crucial especailly if you are going to do this with a family. The danger is all too real that you will lose yourself in study and preparation for residency, so much so that the rest of the world begins to fall away. Indeed, there are some students who fail to take care of their own health or hygiene. This is a grave danger, indeed.
In the highs and lows of third year, I found that, with each successive rotation, I would spend less time with my family, less time doing "fun" activities. Danger! I am thankful to God that He brought this to my attention so that I can get my priorities straight. No amount of success in my career will ever make up for being a failure in the home.
So, I'm back! In a few days I will share with you some of the rigors of third year. It was an adventure, one for which I am grateful.
Until then, Dear Reader, God bless you. For me, for now, it's back to the books.
