Didn't someone mention this earlier?
 
Is anyone else counting down the days until Thanksgiving break? I can't believe we have no breaks until then.

It was a blast and very much needed! And Han is never solo, he always has Chewbacca. So I know what you mean.
 
Got sucked into a really long discussion with my roommates (who are on rotations now) about deciding where to apply to residencies, what field of medicine they're interested in, what aspects of medicine they like, etc. and just got me thinking...

Anyone know of specialties that are heavily based in drug management and pharmacological intervention? I think those types patient-care settings are what I find myself enjoying best. This is, of course, based on my rudimentary undergrad experiences, but I'd still like to explore my options...

Anesthesiology seems like it should fit.

Yeah that's one of the things that struck me as having a lot to do with drugs... We'll see how STEP 1 goes....

I hope you also love airway management and managing CRNAs. That's a huge bit of anesthesia you don't hear about a lot.
 
Protip: if a lady comes in with abdominal pain, place a bag of ice on the quadrant and listen with your stethoscope for teeth chattering.

Teratomas, not even once.

Believe it or not, primary care, psychiatry, and rheumatology are all HUGE in medication management. That's pretty much the bulk of what those fields do: titrate medications. Clearly, oncology is another huge field involved in pharmacogical intervention. Lastly, Infectious Disease does a great deal of pharmacological intervention in both short and long term. Another field you may want to consider is toxicology: they REALLY have to know their shizzy, not only pharmacologically, but also what happens when someone just randomly takes too much of ANYTHING, be it minerals, vitamins, herbs, etc.

I didn't know toxicology was a medical specialty; I know people getting a PhD in toxicology. It's a pretty interesting field, though (but not half as interesting as ID).

Nice! I did a long overdue and largely unintentional staycation via procrastination. LoL

One more episode of Orange is the New Black and off to bed!

I'm enjoying a little break in study here in Seattle. Attending a few EMRA events at the ACEP13. It's actually been pretty informative.
(emra.org for info if you're curious)

I didn't even know it was going on and it's in my city. :/
 
I've spent the last 5 days studying non-stop for upper limb and back gross anatomy tests on Tuesday. I've been having the Tetris effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect) with anatomy. Every time I try to pause to relax for a second, an arm muscle jumps into my head. I was speaking to someone earlier today, and I accidentally said "that sounds flexing awesome."

I need help.
