Reflections on Pediatrics

After 6 weeks of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital, my first rotation back has finally come to an end. My last week was spent on the neonatal floor, where I saw my first delivery in the OR, and got to change a diaper for the very first time. And believe me, it is no cakewalk. On Wednesday, I took my first shelf exam. For those of you not in the know, it’s a standardized test with old Board-exam questions to evaluate our performance in the subject. It’s actually been more than 4 years since I last took a test of any kind, and it didn’t help that this was probably the hardest I’ve taken since P Chem in college. Anyway, I’m now in the midst of a mid-week session before my Ob-Gyn rotation begins. Despite being called “mittleschmertz”, it’s actually quite lax, and should give me a chance to catch up on errands and wedding plans.
