Hump day

1. It cooled off some today....thank goodness!

2. Reps brought breakfast (starbucks and muffins/donuts), lunch (pitas) and a snack (coldstone ice cream) today...needless to say it was a good day.

3. So in basic sciences when you're face deep in a book trying to learn all these drug side effects and random disease facts you honestly think WHEN will I ever see a patient with this or that. Well, today was one of those days for me. It's always interesting and invigorating  to see the details you've learned in the past. To me, it helps put all the work into perspective. We're past the phase of learning to pass the test; we're on to learning to help patients (granted that has been the ultimate goal from day 1, it's a little harder to appreciate the knowledge until you get legitimate patient interaction).

Cheers
