How the days fly! As I get immersed into the Clinical
Immersion at Stanford Hospital, my mind is buzzing with an overload of thoughts. I
seem to be taking every observation as an area on intervention and
thinking of solutions already. I need to hold back and spend more time
analyzing...also need to spend more time discussing and building on
thoughts (and not ideas!).
For most reading it, this might sounds like utter gibberish, but this is my mind talking, just random stuff. But this has been my life for the past one month. I am not a doctor (and can possibly never be one), but have been spending a lot of time at the Stanford hospital, meeting doctors, observing (never participating :)) procedures and running around trying find to eat lunches!
I am also getting to fulfill the childhood fantasy of living like a doctor,
at least dressing like one :) Based on where we would be spending our
day, we wear formals with white lab coats (for in-patient or out-patient
rounds) or surgeon's scrubs (for procedures). This picture is in fact
taken inside the Biodesign lab, and my partner here is Jonathon. For
now, we are together for these rounds, will swap partner with the other
team later.
The post seems disjointed, and makes no sense even to me. It would get clearer as time goes by, I just needed to take this one out. I am sure more fluid thoughts shall follow.
Also on my mind is the Indian dinner treat from Siraj at Sakoon (downtown, Mountain view), morning walking, fooding and photography session at the Farmer's market (California Avenue, Palo Alto), the missed trip to the Science Museum today morning and the fabulous pastries and quiche waiting for consumption right in front of me.
