Medicine Mondays

Resiliency
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. This is going to be a short post on the culture of Medicine, especially the concept of “resilience“. So every year, a fresh group of bright-eyed 1st year medical students start medical school. The vast majority of them start the year with ambitions to be the best doctor they can be and for most of them I think there is a feeling of “I can’t believe I’m going to […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays and I didn’t really have a post in mind for this Medicine Mondays post. So this is kind of a random post about “Teething Medication and You”. I thought this would be a short post, but it ended up being long. Teething Medication and You I was at a doctor’s appointment on Saturday and had my blood drawn to check my Cholesterol since it was “borderline” last time. Also, I […]
