As the material in cardiology and hematology continues to grow in size and complexity, my fascination with the human body grows with it. The main cardiology professor is wonderfully entertaining, and the hematology course is... well... thank goodness for review books and study guides!
On Thursday afternoon I shadowed my new preceptor, a rheumatologist at Ben Taub. Friday night was the first years' white coat ceremony (above), which has now reaffirmed my commitment to medical school for the third time. I called out the first 50 names to receive white coats. Thank goodness for the Bob Johnsons and Jane Smiths of the world (and thank you to their parents). To all of the Indians, Chinese, Eastern Europeans, and other folks with unique names, I apologize for fumbling the pronunciation despite my best efforts.
Afterward, I joined a few Baylor classmates (Nikki, Nico, Elyse, Joseph) and Rice friends (Jenn, Robert, Maiella) at the Museum of Natural Science for Mixers and Elixirs (above). We danced under the dinosaurs, snacked on appetizers, and saw a trippy Pink Floyd show in the planetarium. On Saturday, Kroger doubled coupons up to (and including) $1, so I stocked up on groceries at fantastic prices. Sunday is a day of rest - by rest I mean STUDYING.
