Late this week we received an email asking us our top three residency choices (so that they can assign our dean for dean's letter).
I wrote back: Pediatrics.
To which the non-medical person responded: I need three choices.
I wrote back: I suppose you can put OBGyn and Family if you really have to have two more, but the thought of anything else makes me unhappy.
To which she wrote back: You've got to have options in case you can't get in.
To which I thought: This isn't neurosurgery, folks.
Later, I came to the realization that she meant maybe "I couldn't get in" with the dean who normally does the peds letters. But the thought of spending my life doing anything BUT taking care of children? No thank you.
I'm a bonafide, certified, undeniable pediatrician-in-training. Give me stickers, suckers, and make me work for my ear exams any day. Keep your hypertension. I'm glad it takes all types to make the world go 'round, and I'm glad there's somebody out there who wants to be my doctor - cause I sure wouldn't. :)
