Nicole's Adventure!: Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park

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.

Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park

Yesterday was a fun day! Farley's dad was in town so we headed to Farley's grandparent's house to see his grandparents, uncle and dad. It was such a nice day. I've been really homesick lately, so to be around his family was wonderful. Farley's dad and uncle wanted to go to one of the beaches from their youth and Farley and I got to tag along and we were off to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. It was so beautiful! I didn't realize that a state park is probably 30 minutes from our apartment with beautiful beaches, a breathtaking light house and many tropical plants. I forgot my camera, so I am posting a few pictures from the Florida State Parks website.

According to the Florida State Park's website, Graham Hitchen too the following picture. This State park so so close to downtown Miami that you can vaguely see Miami in the background.

After going down to the national park, we went back to Farley's grandparents and had a wonderful dinner with his family. Overall, it was a fun and relaxing day!

"No greater opportunity, responsibility, or obligation can fall to the lot of a human being than to become a physician. In the care of suffering, [the physician] needs technical skill, scientific knowledge, and human understanding....Tact, sympathy, and understanding are expected of the physician, for the patient is no mere collection of symptoms, signs, disordered functions, damaged organs, and disturbed emotions. [The patient] is human, fearful, and hopeful, seeking relief, help and reassurance." ---Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 1950
