Food and Medicine

I have noticed the disturbing trend in medicine of name pathological processes and nasty stuff after food. Just a few examples: Strawberry tongue - Kawasaki's; Chocolate cyst - endometreosis; rice water stool - Cholera. There are a bunch more but that being said, which ones have you heard and do you find these comparisons a little unnerving?

I am continually amazed at how difficult school is and the fact that I continue to progress. I envy my classmates who are single and can study when they please for as long as they please where they please. I envy the fact that they have fewer responsibilities than I do. For some of them school is easier and some are having fun to boot. I've written about how my wife and son have responded to me going to PA school. I wish that I could enjoy the process for what it is. I wish that I didn't feel like complaining as much as I do. I am so glad that I am in PA school and am learning all that I am. I feel that there is so much i don't know, that I don't know enough, that I'll never know enough. I really look forward to the clinical year and applying what I've learned and learning so much more. I look forward to not feeling guilty for sleeping in or playing with my son instead of studying. I look forward to being normal again. I look forward to being a PA.
