And the ditty begins.........

Hi Fellows,
Exactly 7 days shy from my big exam, I create this blog that's supposed to cover all aspects of a meddie's excruciating journey of careerbuilding and self-actualization in America. And as I sit here in this library that has been more of a home to me for the past 6 months, I think to myself... what the hell am I doing writing this vehement soliloquy when I have First Aid sitting right beside my laptop with its 3 chapters ardently waiting to be blotched and scribbled over (and maybe even read) by me.......... but what are you gonna do when u are filled up to the brim......waiting to exhale...........yet you try to absorb.......yet you try to inhale a little more........for you never know where's the brim really at, do u? And channeling it all into new avenues of personal and social development makes it a worthwhile boon.
So here's what I came up with. A place which will comprise discussion on how to go about delving as doctors. This blog will entail stuff that has to do with finding one's niche, aspirations and ways to get there........... stuff that might make sense to some of those who traverse through the less trodden paths of delving and reconnoitering.......
... stuff that might help make it all a little less abrading than it was for those who took the brunt on their way to whichever phase of their career they are at ..........or stuff that would just help make some bridges and pave some new ways.
Lets choose liaison over apathy, let's choose realization over dreams.

hi, very helpful 4 those who r studying for it (i gave it in 2004), agree with the thought that all these exams are as much a test of one's perseverence and management/organizational skills as they are of medical knowledge and application. GL for the result
