"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.

A Medical Student walks into a room...
One of the girls in my surgical group walked into a patient's room on Saturday to check on him. She thought that something was odd because he had a sheet over his face while he was sleeping (can you guess what happened?). She, in a very perky voice I am sure, walked over to the bed and said, "Good Morning Mr. Smith...Mr. Smith, wake up." Mr. Smith didn't move. She listened and heard breathing so she shook his shoulder and louder said, "Mr. Smith wake up." The family visiting the patient in the bed next to Mr. Smith looked at with confused and startled faces as she pulled back the sheet over Mr. Smith's face: He was dead. She was mortified and quickly covered him back up before leaving the room. As she turned to leave, she noticed a nurse and a nurse tech in the hall staring at her horrified.
