I am sad to say that my Pediatric Infectious Disease rotation is completed. I am really sad to be done with it because I loved it so much. I got to see some interesting infectious diseases in New York City. I saw things that I had previously only read about and didn't anticipate seeing unless I went on a medical mission. I loved working with the children, residents and the attending physicians during my rotation and I am excited to return to this hospital in April to complete my Pediatric Pulmonary rotation.
On Saturday, Farley and I went to downtown New York to find my next hospital. I am not as excited to do my surgery elective, as I didn't enjoy my surgery core rotation as much as I enjoyed my other core rotations. However, I anticipate that I will enjoy this rotation. Elective rotations are usually a bit more laid back than the core rotations and it is only 4.6 weeks (the core is 12 weeks) so even if I don't love it, it will be over quickly and I'll be back to pediatrics. I am nervous to start tomorrow because it is a new hospital (to me). I hope that I learned enough in my core rotation and that I am up to the standards that they expect for an elective student.
