I know that I am the only one who knows my little corner of the internet exists, and that’s fine. Shouting into the void is very cathartic. My latest update, since I haven’t been here in 2 years is that I’m going to try to revamp this to play into my pop culture enthusiasm. After… Continue reading Hey, Universe!
Raise your glasses to one of my beloved patients, who when I left work today had just hours left. In Carrie Fisher’s Shockaholic she has a really great perspective on dying, which I’d like to share now: “You continue leading your life while they follow theirs into the great beyond. You love them until they can’t… Continue reading My Heart Will Go On
Being old and a college grad makes you super nostalgic. This summer, I’ve been reminiscing on all of the toys I had as a little kid, and like DAMN. Kids today are missing out. You just can’t get the same enjoyment from an iPhone as you can from a Diva Starz doll. Betty Spaghetty Betty… Continue reading Blast from the Past
My dementia patients are always testing my patience. I love them dearly. I want to show them off to the world because I have the best, funniest patients ever. I want everyone to love them like I love them. Not everyone has the patience to be punched, kicked, spit on, headbutt and bit on the… Continue reading Patience
It’s the 2nd semester of my junior year of college, so naturally I’ve started looking into PA schools for when I graduate. Nothing will make you feel more like a failure than seeing that your dream school only accepts 44 people out of 1500 applicants. I have a couple feelings about this: I’M STUPID: I’ve… Continue reading Imposter Syndrome
Do y’all know what causes a blister to form? Friction causes the stratum spinosum to tear away from the basement membrane of the epidermis, and platelets fill the space between the spinosum and basement membrane to protect the exposed flesh underneath. In emotional situations that tear off my stratum spinosum (figuratively, of course), I am… Continue reading Blistering
This is gonna be my semester, guys. I officially have a 3.5 GPA, and it’s time to tip the scale a little bit. I’m sick of being average. To start this semester off right, I’ve set 5 goals for myself. 1. Do homework the day it’s assigned. Take the biggest procrastinator you know and multiply… Continue reading Spring Goals
Why does everyone treat me like the village idiot? Do I have “stupid” written across my forehead? Am I wearing a jester hat that’s visible to everyone but me? People laugh at me, condescend to me, and talk slowly when I’m present. Hello! I’m not a toddler, dammit! I don’t understand why my happy-go-luckiness comes… Continue reading Stupid is as Stupid Does
My new hit single! Move over, Fifth Harmony. Guys, I hate working in the summer. Gone are the days when I could sit on my ass all day avoiding my assigned chores until my mom pulled in to our driveway. Since I was a sophomore in high school, I’ve spent my summers working. This makes… Continue reading We Can Work (not from home)
Here’s the deal: I’m not 100% sure I want to be a doctor anymore. In fact, I’m 98.3% sure I don’t want to be a doctor anymore. First of all, med schools boast (is it something to brag about? I don’t think so) some of the the highest suicide rates in the country. That is not something… Continue reading PA Path
