Officially 2nd year of Med school

Whooppeee!!! one year down and only God knows how many more to go. hehe. Anyways, the classes have been very interesting. It's more clinical based than before. Last year was all those boring science basics. Now we actually get to see everything in clinical cases. That's really cool. Even neurology sounds really good.

The last two weeks I was in Southwest Missouri following a doc. The area is really pretty. There was a national park with a huge lake that runs between Missouri and part of Arkansas. The really interesting part is that it takes a 45 min drive into the clinic that I worked and then the closest grocery market is 10 mi away into Arkansas. The closest town is smaller than the one that I'm in now.

The time I was there, I was able to see a lot, esp non compliant diabetics and prenatal care. The babies and prenatal care was more fun and more interesting to see. I also got to see colonoscopy, colposcopy, and EGD. Definitely was interesting, but I won't be doing Family Practice at all. It's too much work.

Now it's time for another crazy short summer quarter for the next 4 wks.
