Watchful Waiting 1
Hey guys, it’s Medicine Mondays again. To be honest I wasn’t sure what I was going to write about today. However, I recalled in my prior posts about the importance of “doing nothing”. So for today’s post, I’m going to talk about Watchful Waiting. This should be a short post. So it’s mid August now… All of the new interns have cut their teeth now and have a bunch of patients under their belts. Their experience […]

Watchful Waiting #illumedati


Hi everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today I’m going to attempt to recreate my “Experience Matters” post that I lost a few weeks ago. Experience Matters? Well of course it does! Well, you may not be thinking of it in the same way I am.

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again and this post is late I know. However, today I want to do a Med School Cost Analysis.

Be The Match
Hi everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays and I apologize that this post is late. I’ve been kind of running around California trying to meet up with old friends. However, today I want to talk about “Be The Match”. Stock Photo from: Pexels What is “Be The Match?” Well, “Be The Match” is a database run by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). As you may or may not know, the mainstay for a potential curative treatment […]
