i'm going to miss fabella. even if this was the most toxic rotation ever... it was in this rotation that i felt like i was a real doctor for the first time since i started clerkship. not just because we did all the work - meaning, draping the mother, episiotomy, delivery of both the baby and the placenta, and episiorrhaphy; but also because the residents treated us as co-workers. it was really fun being there. it made me consider being an obstetrician someday... and might even take up residency there. i love the toxicity and the freedom that they have. it makes you feel alive. today was our last day. we'll be going back to UST tom as gyne. i'm going to miss Team 3 fabella. i've met a handful of great friends. most especially, a great mentor and friend... dr. san luis. i've never met any doctor who i wanted to be like. thank God for fabella.

...and then tomorrow, i'll be back in reality. back at UST. *sigh* 8 more months to go...
