As I watch this show called "Boston Med", I am reflecting on my past year in school and what I am about to face in 2 weeks. It has been a long, difficult, exhausting year! There have been many who have doubted me. And some who have been allies and nothing but support! I just had a classmate tell me this week that in the beginning of the year he thought I would "never make it". And then he said he was really proud of me!
On my last day of lecture, I got into my car and the radio was on....The chorus of the song was "I made it". Can you believe that? I sure have made it!
I found a new tv show that I just love! It is called, "Boston Med" and it is on ABC (I am watching the episodes free online!!). I watch some of the interns/residents go through losing patients, saving lives, laughing and joking with coworkers, going home to their families...I sat there for a moment and felt really sad. Sad because my family will not be here with me. I won't be able to come home from a hard day and talk about how I witnessed a patient dying. Or the times where I will help save someone!! Or the little things, like suturing up a wound for the first time! I just hope that the next 3.5 months go by quick so that I can be reunited with my family and be able to share my journey directly with them.
Stay tuned as I take you through the ups and downs of my clinical rotations......

I can't believe someone thought you weren't going to make it and actually told you. I am shocked. Obviously they don't know you and your motivation.
Your new favorite show is a dramatization of what really happens w/ PAs and interns. Most of them travel far away from their families to work in the most prestigious hospitals and get the experience they need to become great practitioners. You my dear on that journey .... this is happening for a reason.
I will be there in spirit and although its not the same, I will never leave you. I will always support you and in the grand scheme of things, its only for three and a half months...you and I have endured longer.
I am proud of you and I love you!
