Welcome to Island Med Student!
My name is Kendra and I am a fourth-year medical student attending Ross University School of Medicine. I went through my basic science training on the Nature Island of Dominica, hence the name of this blog. However, I am currently living in Brooklyn, New York, where I'm completing my clinical rotations. I am a life enthusiast. I talk to strangers, cut the tags off of my pillows, and I don’t carry an umbrella with me because I prefer to get wet.

Well… it is 3:55am and I can now say that I am done moving ALL my furniture. Moved from one gay unfriendly side of town to another, basically. While unloading my Uhaul, a group of 3 twenty something year old losers commented on the amount of tennis balls I had in my “basket” and showed no hesitation to whisper “fag” behind my back as my partner was coming back to the truck. Now let’s not forget Philadelphiaguy is buff, my head is shaved, my voice is deep and I tennis does not quite take care of all the extra energy I seem to have available WHEN PEOPLE PISS ME OFF!!!
What is it with straight people who think that I will not kick their sorry behinds because I am gay…? I am more than glad to do so. Simply do not whisper the word “fag” as you comment on the number of tennis balls in my “basket”. No, I want you to tap on my shoulder and tell me exactly that. I swear this “FAG” always has a mirror available on which you will appreciate the swelling of your eye. Taewondo, Aikido and being native to the Third World back me up. Now, seriously, I wonder what people are thinking when they do confidently harass gay men in the middle of the “gayborhood”. (I did not coin that term.)
