And Again, She Writes

IT DOESN'T MATTER....

- If I look at the oesophagus and think it's the aorta.

- If my second year had to rewrite half of my first group project.

- If I look at the ovary and think it's the uterus (A MICROSCOPIC VIEW, OKAY, SHUT UP.)

- If I use the word "jiggers" in presentations to my smart, 2nd year classmates.

- If I use the word "jiggers" in clinical sessions WHILE ACTUALLY TALKING TO PATIENTS.

- If I think endometriosis ONLY happens in the endometrium (it doesn't.)

- If I make up heart physiology for an assignment.

- If I ask patients questions like, "So...it just...just happened in the middle of the night and...wow."

- If I confuse the left and right sides of the heart.

- If I randomly yell out the word "Eggplant" to answer any and all medical questions......

AS LONG AS.....

Hearing about the little old lady....

Who waited by her little old husband....

After he'd had a stroke....

Effectively watching him die....

Just in case he'd wake up....

NO MATTER HOW MELODRAMATICALLY THE STORY WAS WORDED,

...............................................................

Still makes my heart bleed, I think I'll make it as a doctor.

It's good to be back, kids, my heart and mind are full of stories to share.
