OK so today I showed up at 8am for my ophthalmology rotation. I sat for an hour through Grand Rounds, then hung out in the cafeteria for an hour with some classmates while the residents had a meeting. At 10am I went to my assigned clinic with one of the other med students. I don't know if it was because it was Monday or what, but the residents were in no hurry to get started. They chatted with us a few minutes about what residency we are starting. When I told them I matched into anesthesia, one of them said, "oh anesthesia. You won't ever be doing anything with the eyes other than taping them shut. Why don't you just go on home and come back on Wednesday at 8:30". Cool!! Now here's the funny/unfair part. When they found out the other med student matched into family medicine, he had to stay. I felt kind of bad, but not bad enough to insist on staying.

Perhaps I should be embracing this last bit of medical school education while I still can.



NAW!!!!!! I went home and took a long nap.
