and so it begins.

I started this blog two semesters ago, with the idea of writing specifically about clinical scenarios that I encounter in my hospital postings (or rotations, for the Yankees reading this). It never quite took off. After the last year though, I've realized that there is so much more to write about, that I think I have a real responsibility to write about, other than purely clinical observations and case studies.
Studying medicine in India has been a real challenge, in many more ways than just the medical school part of it. The incredible things that I have observed and encountered can truly boggle the mind, and I certainly do not want to keep it all to myself.
I don't have a real plan for what I'm going to write on this blog. If I see interesting cases, I will be sure to mention them here. Administration blunders, occurrences that make me indignant (I tend to see a lot of those), strange classes, weird professors, they'll all make it on. I do request that you bear with me when exams take over my life and I go MIA for a while. I promise you, I will be back. I'd love to hear your own stories about medical school, so do check in every once in a while and post a few comments here and there.
