Nicole's Adventure!: Dinner and Baking

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.

Dinner and Baking

I had a three day weekend since I ended my surgery elective on Thursday. I really wanted to do some baking and cooking because I find it so relaxing. So before going to the gym today, I made some cinnamon rolls. I really wanted chili and cinnamon rolls for dinner a few weeks ago so I found a recipe online: they were amazing! I asked Farley if he wanted them again and he said "YES!" So, since I was in a baking mood, I made them, a beef roast and a salad with craisins, low-fat feta, caramelized walnuts and a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Anyway, everything turned out great, so I thought I'd post a couple pictures. If medical school doesn't work out, I can always go to culinary school.

White Coat Ceremony: First Do No Harm

"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
