Season’s Greetings!
The hours of my surgery clerkship have my internal clock a little out of whack, but don’t worry, I’m not 7 months out of step. Actually, I’m all-abuzz about the arrival of spring, and all the great...

Road Trip!
I have more to write about lipids and liver (consider yourselves warned!), but I likely won’t have a post out on that subject for a little while. During the last month I have been enjoying my Family...

Journeys and Destinations
…thoughts on hiking, med school, and life… The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind. First there was the Ancestral Health Symposium (more on that later- if I ever get my thoughts...

Thought of the day…
(I wrote this a few weeks back as I was just starting the first portion of my internal medicine clerkship. I was obviously rather energized at the time, though my thoughts now remain generally the...

An ode to the soft-boiled egg…
Sandy has come and gone (at least in my part of the country- last I heard she was still making her presence felt somewhere in the middle of the country), but for me (and many fellow New Jerseyans)...

Guest Post: Observations from the field
As an evolutionarily minded medical student, you can sometimes feel a bit alone in the crowd of conventionally minded medical practitioners and students. I’ll admit that I’ve been repeatedly impressed...

Ingenious Nature
I’m on Pathology elective. This means that I get to see interesting “gross” specimens and I spend a lot of time sitting at a multi-headed microscope looking at slides with attending physicians,...

An Offal Weekend
As I’ve written before, I’m a fan of eating odd bits. If you’re going to eat meat, and you want to be ethical about it, I think you should make the effort to try and eat all the parts of an animal (or...

New Year in Dubai- part 1
As I let on in a recent post, I spent Christmas and the start of the New Year visiting my brother in Dubai and touring around the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This isn’t a travel blog, but while I was...

New Year in Dubai- part 2
I’m back! While I should probably be studying for my upcoming Ob/gyn exams (practical exam tomorrow, written test on Friday), I thought I’d take some time this evening to get part 2 of my trip to Dubai...

This sh*t is bananas…
Whenever I type the word “bananas”, I hear a certain Gwen Stefani song in my head… This post is going to be painful to type! I just wanted to put up a quick post on one of Americans’ favorite fruits....

How did I get here…
It’s currently the time of year when the Student Affairs personnel at my school people are rallying the troops (third year medical students) to start thinking about what we want to be when we “grow...

Nocturning
I have been a zombie today. I’ve wanted to write this post all day, but I’ve been spinning my wheels, unable to find the focus to sit and write. I know where my inability to focus comes from. It’s the...

Into the Wild
No- this isn’t another post about books (though I did enjoy the book of this title by Jon Krakauer and I love the soundtrack by Eddie Vedder). Rather- I wanted to let you all know what I will be up to...

Wilderness Medicine- Alpine Pic of the Day
If you read my last post, you’ll know that I’m currently away in Utah on a Wilderness Medicine elective. I’ve just come back from the first evolution, the alpine section, and have one night in Salt...

Wilderness Medicine- River Pic of the Day
My Wilderness Medicine elective has officially come to a close. In the last three weeks I’ve experienced three very different environments (alpine, river, and desert) and learned lots of pre-hospital...

Wilderness Medicine- Desert Pic of the Day
I have spent only 5 of the last 25 nights in a bed (4 different beds, to be precise). At this point I feel a touch claustrophobic in bathrooms and feeling clean is certainly a novelty. My Wilderness...

Moab- More than expected
I’ve been hesitant to write this post. This blog is certainly not a travel blog, and it was never intended to be a place where I posted my exciting travels (and to be honest, during the final years of...

Wilderness Medicine- The Medicine
OK- enough (for now) of the photo documentation of my past month of explorations! While I am keen to write more about the environment, wildlife, and general experience of my last month in Utah, it’s...

Gather
Time to take a break from breasts- though I think I may have one more post in me on that subject. I’m a fan of a paleo diet. There, I said it. To me it is not “the” paleo diet, and there is no...
