Today, in front of 800 people, I was helped into a white coat for the first time. Kind of an overwhelming experience. Seeing my reflection in a window afterwards, I couldn't quite come to grips with the idea of me finally wearing this symbol of all my hard work and stubbornness, which will someday become a symbol of trust for my patients. My patients. Weird. It's a privilege and a challenge that I am honored to work to earn.
My next update will be Monday after we actually begin!
TIL: Idealism and realism must be balanced in the field of medicine.
