Relationships

How do you manage medical school, let alone any type of graduate school or career, and a relationship? Well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see. They say a relationship can maintain itself during medical school, but that it won't really grow or blossom throughout this time. That might be something people say, but honestly, why should one ever go with the norm. When you find someone you love and they feel it too, I believe that nothing should separate that bond. I am currently in a relationship and torn over how fair it is to him to be with me. I know people can make it work. You must make time for your bf/gf and they must understand when some dates are simply getting coffee and studying at Starbucks. Compromises and getting through difficult times are for the strong, people who are confident in their love for each other. While I worry about my relationship and hear horror stories about medical students breaking up with their bf/gf, one must experience things firsthand and defy the odds. That is all for now, I'll repost as I experience triumphs and tribulations within my relationship during medical school.

My dreams

I am so excited that I finally got accepted to the Indiana University School of Medicine and Midwestern University in the middle of December 2010. Since then, I have been doing some independent studying either from things I've seen at work in the ER or from stuff that interests me. My future dreams include having my own practice. I have done some research and seen how I can integrate technology and concierge medicine into a wonderful primary care practice. I want to charge my patients a flat fee for the year based on their age and health risks and family medical history. Then, I will stay connected to them via the internet and keep track of their health, fill their prescriptions, give them online counselling, or allow them to quickly schedule their appointments online. I will cut back on costs of paper, receptionists, etc. and people will not have to worry about having insurance and I will be receiving money upfront. This could possible be sustainable... I will need some more fellow doctors and a few PAs and NPs. I am so excited!!
