So after a lot of thought, many discussions with incredible support people in my life, and only a few existential crises, I have decided that I am going to be applying Anesthesia! It's a little scary making a switch at this point of M3 but I am so excited for the year to come!

I feel like a part of studying medicine that I have not seen discussed is how hard it is to be managing incredibly sick patients daily, then while studying for shelf or boards having to read vignettes over and over describing all the ways in which our bodies can fail us.

So I’m actually loving my anesthesia rotation a lot and something one of the attendings said to me really stood out. She said anesthesia is like reading a book, reading it is really interesting, but watching someone read is incredibly boring.”
