-** TODO Third year of medical school is an amazing thing I'll never do again. :medschool:training:
+** TODO The third year of medical school is magical. :medschool:training:
+
+*** It's over.
+
+My third year of medical school is officially behind me. I managed to get in a grand total of /zero/ blog posts during school, so here's to a new year with hopefully some more thoughts being shared. I have a lot to reflect on from the past year. It was wonderful. I wish everyone could experience what I did this past year. I think it goes without saying:

+#+begin_quote
+I loved the third year of med school, but I do not want to do it again.

+
+*** A year of change.
+
+The third year of med school is a /shift/. After years of memorizing and examinations, the doors to the promised land are finally opened. I have experienced nothing like it before It feels intentionally unsettling. You are thrown into the clinic with a modicum of guidance so you aren't totally caught off guard, but you are thrown out to the wolves. I don't mean this as a criticism of the system, it feels necessary. Third year medical students—commonly shorted to MS3s—have just one year to experience a broad swath of medicine and pick a specialty. So you had better be ready to dive in.

+I came to terms with my new reality quickly. Gone were the days of hitting the snooze button and going home when I pleased. I am now beholden to other people's schedules. This came back relatively naturally.

+#+begin_sidenote
+Maybe not hitting snooze. A regrettable personal failing of mine.
+#+end_sidenote
+I was, however, immediately faced with a new reality in the patient room. Patients come to the doctor for a number of reasons, but often seek relief. To get to the core of what ails them, they will tell you /everything/. I was not prepared for how vulnerable patients would be with me.
+
+I think my years spent in the lab have prepared me to face some of the challenges set before me. At the very least, having a few more years under my belt helped me approach the year with a bit of maturity. This seems to have paid off.

+#+begin_sidenote
+I guess my recommendation is to simply get old before going to med school.

+Pace of changes in medicine vs lab: days/years
+Feeling like an important member of the team then becoming "useless"
+Discovery of the superpower of the medical student.
+
+There is a strange dichotomy of "Oh, it doesn't really matter" and "If you don't get this class/score/grade then you won't be able to be this kind of doctor, so you had better get your act together."
+
+At the beginning, unable to interview patients. I wish I had written something at the beginning as a journal.
+By the end, feeling unphased by a double length OSCE.

+*** A year of wonder.

+Rare presentations

+
+Fun every day, then... relying on Mary more than ever
+I found myself resentful of my future schedule. When I was supposed to learn about the 6d*13hr schedule? And what of having a family?
+Seeing patients outside of the clinic
+
+*** A year of glad.
+
+It is impossible for me to say that I'm not happier as a medical student than in grad school.
+I know it from within myself, and from Mary.
+Then I hear residents say things like: "Worst day of residency is better than the best day of med school"
+How can this be?
