Internal Medicine...2 weeks in....

I think I found my niche...it's more than a feeling :) It just fits! Although I have been only doing IM for 2 weeks, I love it already!!! I get to work with many types of patients who present with a constellation of symptoms. I mostly deal with people who have histories of Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertention and Dyslipidemia. People with episodes of chest pain, syncope (fainting), abdominal pain, fever...and the list continues. I have learned the importance of taking an extremely detailed history and physical assessment of a patient. I still have a long road ahead of me to become a great doctor, but sure learning how to become one.
