First Day as a Working Doctor

The long white coat
July 1st. The start of a new chapter. The unofficial day that all new interns start working and realizing their dreams as doctors. Also the day we realize how little we know. I'm already a week into work since my program started us on June 24th. It was a nerve-wrecking couple of days just learning the computer system and where everything is and what's expected, but so far so good. Luckily, I'm starting with an elective for chronic care and palliative services at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital. It still hasn't sunk in that this is real yet. I still feel like a med student.
