I just got off my last day of my internal medicine acting internship. Though I am obviously relieved, happy, and excited about getting back to a more normal life, I -um- actually have to admit that -ack!- I'm going to miss it.
That's crazy, I know. It was actually that good. I learned a lot. I worked with a great team and amazing attendings, and I had wonderful patients. When I left today, I actually had a hard time going, leaving my patients and letting go of their care. I talked to all of them for a while, but I'm pretty sure I will be following their online charts for a long time.
Anyway, this is a sappy blog entry, but it's nice to actually be able to write one. There was always that fear that I might not like my AI, that I might end up feeling that maybe medicine is not for me, but that never happened. Instead, I had several moments where everything seemed to fall into place and feel just right, and I couldn't be any happier with chosing this field. Of course there were hard days, and hard patients, but there were many more good days than bad.
Now, I have a few days off before the start of ER (and a quick escape to burningman for a few days), and 4th year is continuing to be pretty much as wonderful as it can be.
