I was already in the midst of a full physical anyway, so I figured I might as well make the most of my visit.
“Well, when I was doing my surgery rotation…,” my primary care doctor started, “I just hated it.”
He talked about the hours, the attitudes, and the lifestyle, but also something that I hadn’t thought much about.
“I also did my rotation in the middle of the winter. It was one of the hardest winters ever—not seeing the sunshine for days, freezing cold every morning when you’re walking to your car at 3 a.m…”
Nothing that he said was shocking to me (my friend, C, is on her surgery rotation right now and she is tired), but it’s made me appreciate what I have right now.
Like, being able to watch the sunset on my drive home:
Behold!:
And, don’t worry, I was taking these pictures when I was stopped at red lights. SEE!
At least if you are stuck in rush hour traffic, it means that you're getting home before dark. Yay!

Beautiful sunsets. I didn't see the sun at all on my recent Internal Medicine rotation (days were from 7:30 am to 5:30 PM or later), but I'm enjoying it now on my Palliative Care rotation. It definitely makes a difference to quality of life to see some sunshine during the day.
gorgeous sunsets! do surgery in the summer, it's way easier to get up early when it's warm out haha
You know, this wouldn't have been the first thing to come to mind when I think about how one chooses a specialty; but WOW, those really are some gorgeous sunsets.
GORGEOUS! Lucky you to see God's amazing creations in the sky. I LOVE it!
Wow! These are breathtaking. I'm so glad to know that you weren't driving and snapping too. I knew you were smart! ;-)
