I love NY for the fact that you can arrive at a restaurant at 1am, and have to wait for your table because the place is still pumping with diners. Andrew arrived at our apartment, and the 4 of us (Andrew, Michelle, Dave and I) jumped in a cab down to ... Read more >

I spent the last week in the body reading room with some really nice Doctors, who were very helpful and willing to teach. Just like in the chest reading room, I don’t think saw a normal scan. Very educational, but not at all the highlight of my week.... Read more >

Enjoyed the end of the week with the chest reading rads, again observing them interpreting CTs and XRs, doing lung biopsies, and attending conferences with free lunches (yay!). I love sitting in on meetings between radiology and different departments.... Read more >

Ahhhh, the life of a radiologist. It’s super enticing, but I think I would get fat, so maybe not for me. I’ve just started my 4-week radiology rotation and have spent the beginning of this week in the chest reading area. I’ve been paired with ... Read more >

Oooops. I knew it would happen, I just didn't think it would happen this early in my trip. After 3 packed weeks on Ob/Gyn, Dave's arrived and I've been choosing to stay with him over attending hospital activities. I went to clinics Tuesday and Thursday ... Read more >

I had a full weekend of exploration planned. I was going to see Brooklyn on Saturday and had researched my route extensively. Then I wanted to visit Chelsea on Sunday, namely grab a hot chocolate at City Bakery then walk the Highline. This is all now ... Read more >

Time is flying! I can't believe today is Friday of my 3rd week here. I only have 1 week of Ob/Gyn left, then I begin on radiology... and this is the part of the trip filled with visitors. Yay! Ob/Gyn started out so tough, but seems to be ending up ... Read more >

A lot has happened since I last wrote, hence, I haven’t had time to blog. Last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I spent in the Family Planning Clinic. I had heard only good things about it, with most residents telling me that it’s friendly, relaxed ... Read more >

OK, so I'm over the initial shock. Much more settled now. The med students here are so intense, but with just cause - their workload is huge and this is their last week on the rotation, so their exams are coming up. I think they have so much more pressure ... Read more >

Oh crap, it's serious, not just a 2 month frolic in the big city. Day one at Beth Israel started with the usual form filling-in and ID cards, etc, and then I got my green scrubs - of course they are too short, and I look like a big, big dork (cry!).... Read more >

Urgh, horrible night's sleep. Woke every hour between 11pm and 3am, so decided at 3 to get up, have a hot chocolate and instead of tossing and turning, thinking about what I wanted to do the following day, actually wrote a list. Really, it only comprised ... Read more >

V Australia rocks! Great looking, clean plane, really nice cabin crew, good food. Walking through first class to get to my seat was torture. It looked great, heaps of room, and there was stand up bar. Kyle Sandilands was talking on his phone in first ... Read more >
