Me: What type of girls do you like?
Brother: I like all types. I don't discriminate.

hahaha...love that boy!

I couldn't spend Mother's day with my family but had a great time with my roommates. This is the first time since I started clinicals that I actually enjoy hanging out with people that live under the same roof. These two are genuinely nice and extremely funny. Their company will be missed once I leave on Saturday. =/




My hero. My inspiration. My best friend. My creator.

Family's inpatient service is pretty similar to Internal Medicine's except kids, psych, and Ob/Gyn patients are seen as well. This week, the team was bombarded with multiple admissions from nursing homes and physical abuse and subpar care were common factors. When I was doing Geriatric Psych a while back, a lot of patients didn't want to return to the nursing homes because they were so miserable/lonely. I distinctly remember an 82yo patient crying during the morning session because her son wouldn't visit her. I felt so bad for her/them and vowed to never let my parents experience that feeling of abandonment.

Đúng là "Cha Mẹ nuôi con biển hồ lai láng, con nuôi Cha Mẹ tính tháng tính ngày."

I refrained from updating because apparently, the internet connection in this house is monitored. Unfortunately, blogging is a habit that I can’t seem to break. =) I just finished week 1 of Family Medicine and it is probably one of the best rotations so far. Besides receiving free housing/food/gym membership, the residents and staff (minus 1) are friendly and WILLING TO TEACH. I had a chance to see patients ranging from 4 months to 82. I even enjoyed seeing Ob patients. There’s something so amazing and heart-warming about picking up the fetal heartbeat with the Doppler. With inpatient service starting on Monday, I hope to scrub in for a few deliveries. If they’re no longer traumatizing then Family+Ob fellowship will be on the top of my list.
