Post-Pediatrics

I have just finished my 2-month Pediatrics Rotation and I've learned quite a lot of things like... umm... Well I'm pretty sure I learned something other than how to monitor 20 patients in one hour and how to do marathon histories. It's there in my head. Somewhere.

And I learned that I love working with kids.

I have always adored children. They're simply irresistible, even when they're crying their head off thinking you were there to give them injections. Okay, sometimes, just sometimes, I find them a wee bit annoying. I am human, after all.

In the middle of the rotation, I even considered going into Pediatrics. In fact, I'm still thinking about it. I'm thinking of becoming a Pediatric Cardiologist and then going into Invasive Cardiology. But then to get there, I have to go through diagnosing a gazillion PCAPs. For the past few months, we've been having a LOT of PCAPs. It's driving me a little nuts.

And so that's why I'm still not sold out to Pediatrics.

After doing the 2 month stint, I was overjoyed. I love kids. But 2 months of zombie monitoring is my limit.
