One Year Blog-O-Versary
Today is my 1 Year Blogging Anniversary! One Year Ago I: Wrote a post that started with “I have no idea if I’ll start writing here regularly.” Was a 2nd year Medical Student who had written 4 blog posts ever (and it took all of four entire years to get those travesties to blogging out). Had zero subscribers, less than 10 visitors and less than 100 followers on Twitter. Used Blogger to publish my posts, the blog looked like [...]

Psychiatry Clerkship
I finished my Psychiatry Rotation a couple of weeks ago and figured now would be a good time to recap the Freudian experience.

The difference between a Psychiatrist and Psychologist is in both training and job description – Psychiatrists have medical degrees (either MD or DO) and the prescribing abilities consistent with such. Psychologists typically have a PhD and do not prescribe [...]

Life, Anatomy & The Way We Were
I wish there was a way for me to tell this PostSecret author just how much her grandmother’s donation will be respected…a way to express to her just how much people like her grandmother have taught me…have taught all of us. Rest assured that we recognize the sacredness of the anatomy lab…it’s palpable in those rooms. I recall long talks about the people willing to let us learn from them, thoughts of what their life [...]

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day
Today is an important day to a group of people I’ve expressed a deep gratitude to in the past.

October 15 is a day to remember families who have experienced the loss of a child through miscarriage, still birth [...]

Of Flaming Ovens & Paula Deen
When the mood strikes I occasionally like to pretend I’m Paula Deen and dress up in a collared shirt, lay on the thick(er) Southern drawl and cook up a little storm in our kitchen…and by “cook up a little storm” I literally mean become a human baking cloud and rain down flour all over my clothing, floor and iPad recipe app while attempting to concoct something edible. Sometimes I get really lucky and produce pure [...]
I’m a Medical Student (that means I'm in school to become a doctor). My life story can be viewed here. I started this blog in hopes of landing a role in a Lifetime movie so I could quit school and move to Hollywood, so if you wouldn't take medical advice from Angelina Jolie, you shouldn't take it from me. I may not even be a real person. In fact I'm probably a spambot. Or a 15 yo boy blogging from a dingy basement. If you're really interested you can read more about me here. If you have any questions or want to guest post contact me.
