This week I started at my Ambulatory Care assignment. I don't remember if I've mentioned this before, but in the fall we were given a list of specialties and told to rank our top three. I chose:
1.) Neurology
2.) Emergency Medicine
3.) Hematology/Oncology
I was so excited when I found out that I would be shadowing a Neurologist at Georgetown. I spent 4 hours at the clinic at Georgetown this week and learned so much. At first I felt like I normally do when I try to understand a native-Spanish speaker (grasping for pieces that I can put together). Luckily, the doctors I was shadowing took the time to explain their actions and answered all of my questions. I was also able to help one of the fellows present to the Chief Neurologist.
It was so hard to concentrate on our coursework after shadowing, but the year is already going by very quickly. I'll be done with my first year in less than 4 months! Yikes.
It must be so inspiring and exciting to live your dream, follow a neurologist! So amazing!
