Why would you ever want to be a dermatologist?

We started derm today.  It's gross and I don't know why anyone would want to do that as a career.  I guess the money is good and you really never have to work but lifestyle will only get you so far.  I guess I can take it off my list!

LIFE AS I KNOW IT...

My life has progressively been getting busier and busier over the last month or so.  My grandma is not doing very well so I have been trying to spend more time with her and school is getting crazy plus I take the boards on June 30 which I have yet to really start studying for.  3rd year rotations start on July 6 and I just got my schedule...I CAN KISS MY SOCIAL LIKE GOODBYE!!!  At least until mid december 2009.  Each rotation is 6 weeks and I have:

OB/GYN (start at 5:00 am, leave...who know when), 

pediatrics (Long hours but not as bad), 

surgery (shoot me now!), 

Internal Medicine (long hours).  

Then I have christmas break for 2 weeks and my one and only scheduled break for 6 more. Then, its smooth sailing.  

Psychiatry (half days!), 

Family medicine (clinic days),

Internal medicine (long hours but should be interesting if I get an ICU rotation). 

So I guess I will see you all next christmas!  :)
