A questionable entry.

I know you probably don't want to hear about this, and I apologize. I debated on whether or not to write about it or not; however, it's part of becoming a doctor. Plus, when I read this years from now (or when I'm compiling entries for my best selling book), I definitely want this documented.

Today was interesting, to say the least. It's days like this that I am reminded that medicine can be unpleasant. It was one of my long days which means that I had physical exam lab this afternoon. This morning we had four hours of lecture, one of them being Clinical Skills. Our Clinical Skills lecture correlates with what we will be doing in lab that afternoon. On the schedule, it said we were doing cardiovascular stuff. Well they changed the schedule. Today's lab: pelvic exams. I about had a heart attack becuase I am the only girl in my group. Don't fret, there was a mannequin. That's about all I have to say about that. The rest of the day was nice and normal. Well I have to start studying now. I think the initial shock of today's events has worn off enough that I can begin my work.
