Another Ending

Today is the first day of my last week of surgery. Of course I'm not sad, but I've also pushed myself to find some positives about the experience, and concentrate on what I have learned...and I have learned. It may not have been what I WANTED to learn about, but it is important nonetheless, and I will be a better PA for it.

Plus, I'm not such a retard in a sterile field anymore, which is a total plus.

I look forward to my next rotation because it is a lot of HIV/AIDS and infectious disease. I happen to think infections and viruses are some of the most interesting things in medicine. In fact, at this very moment, I'm watching a show on the Discovery channel about a new virus called Nipah virus that has jumped from bats to humans in Bangladesh.

Yeah, I'm a nerd....and I'm proud.
