Medicine


Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays today. Today I just wanted to talk about me doing “Career Day” at my daughter’s elementary school. Career Day When I initially signed up to do the Career Day for my daughter, I wanted to try to explain the differences between different types of doctors.

Hey everyone, just a short light-hearted post today for April Fool’s. April’s Fools? Yea. Match Day has come and gone and I can imagine that a lot of medical students and others are putting plans in place to move to a new place. I tend to harp on this a lot, but I recommend that you do not buy a house. Every year people don’t take my advice. Some end up doing very, very well, […]

Did you match? #illumedati #NRMPmatch #TheMatch2019


Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Let’s talk about “The Week Before the Match”. The Week Before the Match For some, you might be on a pretty difficult rotation and not even have time to think about the Match. However, for many of you, you will be on pretty relaxed rotation with lots of time off or perhaps you’re even on vacation this week. For you, this may be the longest week of your life […]
