Island Med Student

I am officially halfway finished with my infectious diseases rotation. I’ve learned a lot and saw an interesting case today (but incredibly sad) of a very young man with Behcet’s Sydrome. The case reminded me again how strange it is that the most exciting cases in the hospital are usually also the most tragic.

I went on a 9-mile run today and took a bubble bath when I got home. Apparently that did me in for the day, as I haven’t had the motivation to move very much since then.

It’s calling for quite a bit of snow in NYC tomorrow, and there is a winter storm advisory for the area. My sister was supposed to visit me, but it looks like that won’t be happening, because of the predicted inclement weather.

I don’t have any truly insightful wisdom to share with the world right now, so I’ll leave you with that for now. Enjoy the photos with this post. The first one is of a flock of pigeons huddling together in a parking lot because of the intense cold and the second one is my doggy Molly eviscerating a stuffed pyramid.
