After finishing medicine, you tell yourself you had to start living your life. But how do you start knowing that 10 years of it has already been slashed? When most of your classmates and friends are either married, happy, or have moved on?
You stare at those newspapers and you start reading blogs.
You go to Egypt and hope that the experience will somehow make you feel alive again. And for a time it does.
Travel has a way of keeping your spirit soar to new heights.
Dance like there is no tomorrow.
Then reality bites.
You think about residency and careers.
You think and you start becoming the obsessive compulsive human being you were during internship.
You move a lot. Moonlight. USMLE. AMC.
And then life changes again.
Like pediatric milestones.
And just when you thought you've learned enough, life begins teaching you again.
