Introduction

Hello! Welcome to my blog!

While writing this, I sat for a minute just staring at those words. What to say?

It may come as a surprise to some of you that I am doing this. I am generally a fairly private person, and it goes a bit contrary to my nature to expose my thoughts to strangers, and even worse, those I know! So bear with me.

It seems to have become "cool" or the "thing to do" recently to start a blog. But that's not why I started one. I'm a 24 year old married female in my second year of medical school. There are so many things that happen in my life that make me angry, sad, or just make me think. Sometimes it's a patient I come into contact with, or something I see on the news. Whatever the precipitating event, it always seems to somehow help to write about it (I refuse to use the word "blog" as a verb.) So that is what this blog is about - just my thoughts, and perhaps sometimes a way to see what other people think about these topics. Sometimes it may be controversial. Whatever the topic, I promise to be as honest as I possibly can about it.
