Morbidity and Mortality

I haven't been writing much because life has been so tame and restful more or less.

I sat in on a morbidity and mortality meeting earlier in the week and saw how intense medicine can be and how a doctor's mind can be fooled by the subtle and confusing ways problems can manifest in a patient. Sick patients and especially patients who have developing pathophysiology can be difficult to assess. I feel like there's no such thing as every case in medicine being absolutely clear from the start.  

It gave me an even greater appreciation for what residents go through, how they're spread out so thin over so many patients and can't afford to miss one thing. 

Residency will be like being the hot iron being hammered into a sharp sword over several years. Until then I'll keep learning as much as I can to make the transition survivable.
