another day, another dollar

I've been working for 2 weeks now. Crazy to think it's been that long. I really enjoyed house medicine, my resident and intern were absolutely fantastic. They went out of their way to explain everything to me, and I feel like I learned an incredible amount of info... Hard to believe it's been only 2 weeks! But, while I really enjoyed my time there and everything I was learning....I never felt that spark, that excitement that comes when you just KNOW that you're where you're meant to be. And then comes today. My attending is off this week, so he set me up with people in all the "-ologies" as my mom called it. Hematology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology... I'm excited about having all sorts of different experiences. And I'm already truly amazed at how friendly everyone has been, and how willing to teach and explain they all are. So today I went to rounds in hematology, and to be honest, I was expecting it to just be another day. Another day, another dollar. But instead, being up there just felt almost perfect. It's a little weird, how I can say that I "love" cancer. Because it isn't really the cancer that I'm pulled toward. It's the people, and the relationships that develop. I may not have much experience with hem/onc from the physician side yet, but God knows I've seen way more than my fair share from the patient's family side. I've seen that patient-doctor relationship, and it's amazing to me.

Maybe I found my calling? I'm not quite sure yet, but I did prove today that hem/onc is definitely one of my top choices for my future. Fingers are crossed that I enjoy next month in the ER too, and that God will show me where I'm supposed to be. :)
