Being a medical student really has its perks. Just this afternoon I received my first issue of the NEJM (New England Journal of Medicine), and while this may not seem like an event worthy of a blog post, it is.
It's the little things like this that make becoming a doctor worthwhile. The fact that I didn't even have to subscribe and that they respect my privacy enough to address my issue to another person, really speaks to the fact that there is still good in this world. I looked up my assigned pseudonym on Google and it seems that when the folks up in New England start something, they take it all the way. My "name" has a detailed history and background. I won't tell you the name because that would defeat the whole purpose of a pseudonym, but as far as the public knows, I'm a second year general surgery resident (PGY 2) at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Is it coincidence that this is the med school across the street from my apartment complex? I think not. These guys are just that good. Maybe I would have preferred being an MD instead of a DO, but I don't think that someone like me is in a position to complain about this sort of thing.
I can't wait for next month's issue!
