Yeah, so I'm bad at this blogging thing. I'm now a big bad third year entering rotations so I don't know how often I'll be able to update this, but I'll try!
I was actually reminded about this blog by a current first year. Weird, right? Apparently he'd read my blog back when I actually updated it and still had red hair. Kind of funny to be recognized that way and kind of cool to realize that someone actually reads this!
Second year was great, but I'm very glad it's done. I got pretty tired of the PBL process by the end of it. The tiredness mainly stemmed from people insisting on discussing a specific topic for 30 minutes to 1 hour when I knew it wouldn't be on the exam or wouldn't be something important to the typical new grad. But, I made it and I'm moving on up!
I spent the summer working on a research project and scrubbed in and assisted on over a hundred surgeries which was definitely an amazing experience. It's already made me so much more comfortable to enter clinics this year.
I'm on my surgery and anesthesia rotation at the shelter at the moment. Monday was just orientation and CPR basics and then today was some testing in order to clear us for surgery (I got cleared, yay! One of the DVMs even said we should talk about residencies, which definitely made me feel awesome) and then we had an anesthesia lecture in the afternoon for a few hours. I thought talking about drugs for four hours would be really draining, but I actually really enjoyed it!
Tomorrow, I'm doing a neuter with scrotal ablation, assisting on a spay, and playing anesthetist for a neuter. Should be fun!
