"Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn." --Albert Einstein
Nicole, MD
I'm no longer an expatriate. I started my 3rd year of medical school in Miami and have finished my first set of medical boards, which I passed! I've been to the little island of Dominica and Miami. I completed my Family Medicine, OB/GYN and Internal Medicine clerkships while living in the beautiful city of Miami Beach, FL. I moved to New York City in the beginning of August 2011, passed my second set of boards and finished rotations in Astoria, Queens in December 2011. I have not been posting as much as I have been extremely busy. It is hard to believe that I finished medical school, landed a pediatrics residency and that I'm finally Nicole, M.D.

Medical School is a pain in the neck
Now, I mean this literally: medical school is a pain in the neck. My neck REALLY hurts. We have an exam tomorrow and a final on Tuesday (we had two exams last Thursday and one the week before). I don't mind having so many exams, I just wish we had a ton of exams throughout the semester rather than a handful of big exams (all within a couple weeks nonetheless!). The one good thing about medical school (okay there are many amazing things about medical school, I'm just tired and cranky now): I can now name the muscles in my neck and back that hurt. Medical school is the whole package, you get knots in your neck you didn't know were possible and you name the muscles that must be causing the pain. I guess a girl can't ask for much more. I better get back to reviewing the Embryology of the cardiovascular system (our Embryology professor is an angel sent from God to teach us this difficult, yet amazing and interesting subject--I'm surprised anyone is born without a birth defect).
