WILTIMS #364: Goodbye sunshine!

Today was the first day of my new rotation on OB/GYN and my first day commuting into Manhattan from the Bronx.

We only had a brief orientation lecture (yes, even in med school, they still read us the syllabus) but no actual clinical work today. The biggest takeaway was that this is going to be my first really intense clerkship. Five weeks of 12-hour day shifts, one 24-hour shift and four 12-hour night shifts - all about an hour commute from my apartment using public transportation. Yay! I'm tired just thinking about how tired I'm about to be. On that note, I'm going to head to bed since I'm getting up at 03:45.

TIL: Chadwick's sign is an early sign of pregnancy where the cervix and vagina turn a bluish color due to increased blood flow.
