Happy Thursday!
I'm just getting home from the hospital.
Today and tomorrow are actually pretty significant days for me because today was the second to
last day of my entire medical school career, which means tomorrow is my absolute last day
of medical school before graduation.
So I guess that's pretty significant.
I still remember my last day of college.
I remember I have to go give some type of presentation or I had to take some type of
final exam and then right after, I felt so free and I went to the farmers market, I bought
a bouquet of lavender.
And yeah, I just remember like feeling like wow my college days are really over.
So I'm getting sort of a similar feeling for my medical school being done.
So you guys know that I'm finishing up my medical ICU rotation, and I have a presentation
to give.
So I'm gonna talking about one of my patients that I took care of in the ICU.
So for tonight, I'm gonna keep it pretty easy, I'm gonna make dinner and then I'm gonna work
on presentation for a little bit and that's pretty much all I have planned for day.
For tonight's dinner, I'm gonna be making something from my BlueApron box which just
got delivered today.
I'm gonna be making a roasted chickpea and freekeh salad with lemon labneh and while
my dinner is cooking I wanna tell you guys a little bit about BlueApron.
Blue Apron is a meal kit delivery service and the way it works is: they will send you
a cooler box with all the ingredients and recipes each week right to your door.
They will send you the exact proportions so nothing is wasted from unused ingredients.
So this is pretty convenient if you're really busy and don't have time to go to the groceries.
There are two types of plans that you can choose from--the two person plan or if you
have a big family you can choose the family plan.
Each week there 8 different recipes to choose from.
For this week I picked the Parisian steak frites, roasted chick pea and freekeh salad
and a sear cod and olive tapanade.
Today I'm gonna make the roasted chickpea salad.
So if you guys are interested in trying out BlueApron click the link in the description
box and the first 50 people to sign up will get $50 off the first two weeks of Blue Apron.
So this is the final product.
It actually needed becoming like a really nice one pot dish and it's actually really
yummy.
Having my second serving here.
So after dinner I'm gonna work on my presentation like I mentioned before and I'll show you
guys a little bit of my presentation, not the whole thing.
I'm doing my presentation on my patient who had a pretty bad GI bleed.
He had a mallory-wiess tear inside the esophagus from throwing up after he had a binge drinking
episode.
So basically my topic is talking about transfusion and acute GI bleeding setting and what you're
hemoglobin goal should be that's basically my presentation.
It's super short it's like 10 minutes long.
So I'm just gonna work on it quickly and I'm gonna head to bed in a little bit and maybe
watch a little bit of TV.
Good morning everyone!
It's Friday and it's the last day of medical school.
Yay!
I actually don't know how to feel.
I guess it's like I'm happy cause I'm done and I have the next month and a half free
before residency starts but also kind of like bittersweet I guess because I really enjoyed
my time.
So anyway, I'm just getting ready to head over to the hospital so I can give my presentation.
I think it's gonna be a short day probably maybe two hours at most cause I think there's
only four of us that needs to give our presentation and then I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna
enjoy the rest of my Friday.
We're leaving school on our last day.
WHOO LAST DAY.
LAST DAY of school!
Oh my good can't believe we finished.
It's kind of an anti climatic but I think everybody is pretty happy.
Here with Matt.
Hey how is it going guys.
He is going into ortho.
In two sentences--advice for somebody who wants to go into ortho.
I actually didn't know I wanted to do ortho until later on in 3rd year but I think it's
a great mix of engineering, technology and physical---Okay one sentence left.
So I gotta keep it short from now on.
I guess bones... if you like bones go to Ortho!
Alright.
Well thank you and congrats on finishing med school.
Congrats everybody!
There is Chris--audience favorite here.
What's up America?
Striving hard?
Santosh--who's going into Neurology.
Chris is going into Urology.
Ok.
It sounds similar but totally different body parts.
Today is the last day of medical school I had the pleasure of rotating with Jamie.
Ms. Strive America on the MICU here at Robert Wood.
We learned a lot, today we had presentations kinda culminating the end of our medical school
career as students so from now on.. we're no longer students and we're colleagues in
the field, no matter where we are..
Aww..
We're gonna be doctors!
Yeah we're gonna be doctors.
Alright...final thoughts on last day of medical school.
Final thoughts...
I mean it came quick, faster that I expected.
Definitely, third year was tougher... the toughest year.
Fourth year was tough in it's own way.
You have to do applications, do away rotations, a lot of paperwork but it all came together
at the end.
COME TO CAMERA.
Final thoughts---lets get Chipotle.
Chipotle?
I just can't wait to go to Thailand right now.
I can't even upset about being on a plane for 20 hours after 4 years of all this.
You're going out right now?
Like on a plane?
Oh no, I'm going out on Tuesday.
Tuesday night.
And you got your celebration cake.
This is my celebration tres leches cake from the cafeteria.
Only the finest cakes to celebrate the last day.
Only the finest.
Alright thanks guys!
Keep striving America!
Keep striving.
Hey guys it is Friday afternoon and I have a surprise.
I'm actually gonna be leaving for London and Paris tomorrow.
So now that I'm done with medical school, I thought it would be a great time to travel
a little a bit so I'm packing my bags and I'm going to Europe.
So there are times where I try to be strategic about this but it's just really hard to predict
what kind of clothes you're gonna wanna wear.
How do people do this?
I'm gonna be spending about two and half weeks in London and Paris and a lot of people are
leaving the country at least from my class.
A lot of people are going to Thailand, a lot of people are going to different tropical
islands in Mexico because it's the perfect time to travel.
We're finishing our presentation today and our attending was basically saying how this
is the longest time you're gonna have off...maybe for the rest of your life, so really enjoy
it.
Definitely trying to do that and see more of the world and travel more.
I'll be in London and Paris for the next two and a half weeks.
Right up until graduation.
I've narrowed down my outfit choices to on what is on the bed here.
The strategy that I ended up going with was trying out a lot of different outfits and
taking pictures to see if it works, if I'm comfortable and then packing that.
So that's my strategy for this trips outfit planning.
So I'm just gonna continue packing and go to bed in a couple hours.
Hey guys so I'm here at the airport about to board my plane.
I'm here with bae.
So I'm going to end the vlog here.
Thank you guys so much for watching and I will see you guys next week in London.
Bye!
