"Now hang me up to dry, I'm pearly like the whites of your eyes"

Med Students Can't Party
When buying gifts for medical students follow these rules: a) has to have to do with anatomy/physiology/any other gross-and-weird-ology and b) if it says something like "For kids of ages 3 years and up" on the box then we have a winner!! Because we will screw around with it any way possible and love it.

It's a weird day when you come to the bleak conclusion that when you find out you have a free week of nothing to do but lazy around your first thought is "I wonder if I can score some nice night shifts at the hospital?". I think it's some sort of separation anxiety given by the fact that I've finally finished my Pulmonology rotation and am now ready to throw myself (or, as it usually
happens around here: fall blindly while clutching my heart like a Victorian wench) into the new and heart-stopping exciting (ha ha!) Cardiology rotation.

At least the last month has been interesting. Here's to you patient who thought it would be a good idea to cut your central line with a pair of household scissors and then put a band-aid over the hole. Or to you, lady who used her inhaler by spraying it in the air around your head. And even you, the lady who apparently threw her boots at our attending doctor.

What can I say, people tend to get more and more special with each new rotation. I think I should be worried... but man, these are going to make some great stories on future drinking nights :))

We proved that birds of a feather stay together when one of our own future M.D.s celebrated her birthday. What! We're not immature, we just stay forever young ;)

The weekend brought forth sunny days with freezing cold nights but I decided to focus on the whole vitamin D production thing and lazied around in the sun like a comatose lizard. And took some photos to share with you and prove, once and for all, that I did not fall in a dark pit of despair and dashed hopes, but that I am really just an extremely dallying drama queen at heart. Ha!

It's Me, Spring


It's Me, Spring

This is one of those sunshiny days when the line "My glasses! My glasses! I can't be seen without my glasses!" seems to fit the scene/photo just right.

I was joined by my lovely Florina who sort of unconsciously kicked my ass in lessons of posing. Either that, or she's just preposterously pretty. Hmm, will go with door option number two!

It's Me, Spring

Cute, but it sure gets cuttingly chilly when you are missing half a dress. Sigh, the lengths we will go to and the cold we will get for The Pretty, capitalization required ;)

Now back to my viciously exciting life. And by that I mean back to watching reruns of Scrubs because it's an early tradition to go through an obsession with that show and JD is so my spirit animal. And back to sitting in bed reading about Atherosclerosis and Myocarditis . Why? Just because I'm bored and weird, that's why :))

I so love your every article, not only for the beautiful photos and outfit inspiration but also for the witty and funny texts. How cool is your backless dress and those baby blue tights …and Florina’s skirt?!!! And the stories about the patients – hahahahahha, I guess that’s a bit wrong (to laugh I mean) but, man, the things people do!:)

That little skeleton looks like it would easily eat up a lot of my time, playing with it. hahah, so cute. Especially during a boring lecture... ;)

These shots are so stunning. I love and still wish for red hair as perfect as yours. The coat in periwinkle blue looks amazing against your hair and skin tone.

Don't be a stranger <3

HAHAAH i always love your posts. They're rare, but clever and packed with fun anecdotes. Hope everything is going well on your end. I wish I could have a coffee with you and hear all your crazy patient stories. I'll be starting the skin diet in May, and I'm crazy scared I won't keep up. There's so much COOKING involved! JESUS!

aww I love how you share your blog with your friends and take outfit shots together... sigh i still haven't really mustered up the courage to tell my friends about my blog! ><

OMG to that patient who cut her own central line!?! that is so so scary... Were you doing a house call or something? What a nightmare!!

And eee omygosh I would not really want a little skeleton for a toy... ;p

lynnette said...

haha hey which is your favorite medical tv series?? i haven't really followed any before! Maybe I should watch ER; I've heard it's like the awesome original series that started the ball rolling...

btw, how did you break the news about your blog to your friends? :p Like did they know about it from the start? Did they tease you about it? I'm really hoping to share my blog with my friends but I don't know what they'll think!
