I have moved on from Emergency Medicine for my elective and I am onto Gynecology. Now, you would think that gynecology would be an easier, slower, not much to do, clerskhip, and you would be right. But, the catch is, with Emergency Medicine, I see patients and I am expected to be there from one time to another.

I feel kind of bad saying that, but it’s the truth lol. It’s kind of like the new year resolutioners, coming to the gym and getting in your way, when you know a few weeks into new years, they’re going to cancel their membership or let it lapse and never come back.
