Helloooooo!

WHY: I'm starting this thing for a billion reasons, namely catharsis, fun, and the ability to look back on my daily experiences in my little hospital years from now.

WHERE: I'm keeping the specifics out of it to be safe from HIPAA (did I spell that right - doesn't matter)

HOW: I'll write SOMETHING daily about my experiences in becoming a doctor at my new residency/internship. NOTE: The names, events, ect will be altered slightly to achieve anonymity of my coworkers, patients, and myself, however, I hope to keep my experience intact and realistic.

WHO: I'm a new pediatrics intern at a very large free standing children's hospital (IE. a hospital only for kids). My wife is a brand spanking new physician as well, doing her internship at a hospital about 10 miles away from me in family practice. We are pretty alone out here in a city bigger than we've ever lived in, farther away from family than we've ever been.

It's scary and exciting (at least for us) and there will be many more posts before this blog closes so if you're interested, stay tuned.

PS - Sorry for the poor spelling/grammar I could do better, but it would hamper how fast I get these out. Wish I was an English major as well, but if you put yourself through reading this for now at least you'll have to do with my spell check :)
