In the Beginning

Next week I will start a three year residency in pediatrics- which for the uninitiated, means 80 hour work weeks and a schedule that's planned out a year in advance. I'm not sure exactly what purpose this blog will serve yet- probably part reflection, part updates to friends and family, part my way of retaining some creativity in the midst of all that medicine. After four years of writing nothing more substantial than H&Ps and progress notes I am looking forward to writing for fun again, even though it may not be very often...
