My last post was in June and for some reason I thought tonight would be a good night to resume some blog postage.
Here's what I decided to do... I'm just going to vomit out in the form of text what has been going on in my life for the past 5.5 months.
June: So I passed boards (praise God) as seen in my last post and we had a wonderful time in Mexico.
July: Started my first ever rotation... in pediatrics. It was great, although I'm not sure that I would like only see kiddos all day.
August: My first Family Medicine rotation. I fell in love with seeing all different ages and people of different backgrounds. I learned SO much!
September: Family Medicine rotation number 2, this time with obstetrics mixed in. I was living in Ardmore, Oklahoma- 3 hours from home, but was busy busy. I delivered 6 babies (1st baby I delivered in pic) all on my own and first assisted with 4 C-sections. I performed about 12-15 circumcisions (totally solo) and saw a ton of patients completely on my own! It was wonderful- awesome to see how I can mix family medicine with delivering babies :)
October: My first elective rotation. I chose to go to the Women's Health Center at OSU and was happy to be back in my own bed with my husband and puppies. This rotation I saw mostly OB patients and found myself really missing all the other patient populations. I don't think I can do without seeing the elderly and kids.
November: The Present. This month I have been with OSU Family Medicine and am absolutely loving it! I get to see everything- from tiny babies up to old grandpa. I feel constantly challenged and am learning more than I ever imagined. And I just recently (last week) found out the Clint is accepted to LAW SCHOOL!!! This has been an amazing month- we have SO much to be thankful for.
Up next- vacation!!!! The whole month of December I'm off, probably for the last time for a LONG time, so I'm gonna enjoy.
