See this thing? It’s almost 3000 pages of medical knowledge. It’s going into my backpack tomorrow. I’m on a month-long elective on the nephrology (kidney) service. There is quite a bit of downtime scattered throughout the day. It has been suggested that I do my share of readings form this textbook. From now on, this will be my ongoing reading project. Hopefully it continues after this month.
I heard of an attending physician who read through this book once during her 3rd and 4th year of medical school. She proceeded to read it through once a year during the three years of her residency. 
I hope I have that much discipline. I don’t want to be a good doctor. I want to be a great one.

I look confused, huh? Hopefully the official one looks a little better. My excuse in this one was that I was rushing in order to take this unnoticed. And now I finally have first-hand experience with a “tam.” And no, it isn’t River Tam… (Taken with instagram)

Well this is what I’m going with. They told us to wear a white shirt. So all that was really left to me was the tie. And whether I’m going to shave or not.  (Taken with instagram)

GPOYW - at Dayton International Airport. I survived! It wasn’t as cold as I dreaded, though. I could totally live here. (and I do realize it does get colder than this)  (Taken with instagram)

I make no guarantees that I am being serious. I might be, but most of the time I probably am not.

For my "more" serious side, look elsewhere (preferably at my other blog: JeffreyMD.com).
