These are the words that inspired me to begin my journey as a medical student blogger. Four years later and I’m still at it! The time has flown since I received my acceptance letter to now, only a few weeks away from my graduation. And as graduation approaches and I make the transition from student to resident, I can’t help but ask myself, how am I doing? How is my first patient really doing?
It’s a difficult question to answer. I’m alive. I’m breathing. Somehow I made it through. But how am I really doing?
The truth is, when I look in the mirror I see a girl who is a shadow of her former self. In good ways and in bad. I’m not the same girl who started this blog four years ago. I’m a different person. I have a different outlook on life, a different outlook on everything. The things I’ve learned and the things I’ve seen and the patients I’ve met have changed me.
