So I've caved as well. I'm here to start my blog. I have never felt inclined to do so, but since so much of my life revolves around medicine, this seems like the right place!
Treading water? That is how DH refers to our current situation. Everything we do is just getting by until residency. Me working, us living in an apartment in the city...
I was born and raised in suburban Chicago, and currently live in the city with my husband, Chris, and our two retired greyhounds: Cleo and Lexi. Chris is an MS3 who is currently interested in ortho.
Recently (since he got his Step 1 scores back), we've started to think about residency. I am anxious to move away but nervous about the whole "match" process (yes, I know, plenty of time until the match).
I currently have no job. I was teaching at a school in the far south suburbs, but the commute was too much, so I decided not to return. The job market for math teachers has not been the greatest. So here I sit today, scrambling to get health insurance for myself for the next couple months. I'm very frustrated with the whole situation.
That's about all for now - hopefully future writings will contain more exciting things!
