IRONY (ahy-ruh-nee)

And why I am in Pediatrics?

 

1.        Because I am not fond of kids.
2.        Because I always hated computations.
3.        Because I am not the “meticulous type” of person.
4.        Because I wanted to become an internist. ( A cardiologist for that matter.)
5.        Because I hate challenging IV insertions. (time consuming)
6.        Because I don’t understand as to why babies keeps on crying, even if you have             given     them everything. (OK, so maybe my “everything” is not their everything)
7.        Because I find Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine more appealing than Nelson Textbook of   Pediatrics.
8.       Because I don’t like NICU.
9.       Because I hate the developmental milestone topic.
10.       Because…  just because I don’t like pedia from the the very start…. 

      Really, i never imagined myself of becoming a Pediatrician. I dont like handling little/tiny things, i am so clumsy and babies are just too fragile for me to handle. Most of all pediatrics is all about details and i am not good with details. But here I am in the department of PEDIATRICS trying hard to be better each day. And little by little i learned to embrace the craft... little by little like baby steps i learned to love Pediatrics. :) 

  

Everything happens for a reason. There is no such thing as a wrong place or a wrong time... only a wrong person. (hahaha- just being bitter).

 

Bloom where you are planted and everything will turn out just fine.
