Jack of all...

Okay, I won't finish that one.  It's a pet-peeve-of-mine saying, but sometimes it seems oh-so true.

Like today...  from PCKD... to chronic constipation...  to the pre-op for my post-menopausal bleeding patient.  Oh!  And a bit of CIN 1 follow-up, plus an overweight female who may have PCO and diabetes thrown in.

I love the variety.  I adore the variety.  But at this point, it's that very variety that scares the crap out of me.  When will I feel comfortable with this stuff?  There is just, well, so much "stuff!" Perhaps it's that perfectionistic trait - I don't want to feel sorta comfortable.  I want to know it.  Do it.  Prescribe it.  Diagnose it.  BAM!

That fear of the unknown will always be there. Good? Bad?  Who knows. I hope at the very least that this will be a good doctor push. That's my attempt at a positive spin on it.

A good doctor. It's what I hope to be, and strive to be. So why don't I have that disgusting over-confidence that most of the med students or residents run around with??

Bleck.

Onward.
