It's been four weeks, so it's time for another rotation: neurology. I can't say I am looking forward to this rotation since I do not find neurology -- or even neuroscience -- fascinating. Any time I hear words like "thalamus" or "amygdala" I seem to zone out of the conversation, so I have to watch myself for the next month.
Neurology might be particularly agonizing because one of my surgical subspecialty electives was neurosurgery, and so I had first-hand experience (and enjoyment) with the surgical side of solving neurologic problems. Unfortunately, the medical side of neuro problems is essentially limited to diagnosis, since not much can be done medically for neurologic problems.
I am also a little worried, since I tend to be susceptible to neurologic conditions when it comes to my hypochondria. After meeting our three myasthenia gravis patients today, I am already a little self-conscious about my possibly drooping eyelids.
This will be a long 4 weeks, now for more than one reason.

And you thought Internal Medicine rounds were painful?
I actually dozed off during my neurology rounds...
keagirl: Nice timing. I fell asleep during rounds myself today ... it doesn't help that our "rounds" are just sitting around a table (no walking from patient to patient). Normally I wait at least a week before I feel comfortable falling asleep in front of my team.
foofoo5: That's what I hear. I'm trying to give this rotation/specialty the benefit of the doubt, so let's see how long I can last.
Maybe you could look at the neurological subspecialty that deals with epilepsy. It is a neurological disorder that an MD can indeed do something about. With meds and/or surgery you can truly make a difference in your patient's lives. I can understand that a doctor wants to DO something and wants to see the results, wants to see the patient's life improve. My neuro who does only epilepsy (Texas Comprehensive Epilepsy Center) gets great satisfaction in diagnosis intractable symptoms that other doctors couldn't define and then helping his patients regain their lives. (AND he gets to play with a gamma knife!)
Well it was something that is experienced by every newcomer. Neurology is something that needs lot of attention and your concerns also. We should must focus on these things that is associated with different ideas. https://www.capstoneproject.net/best-project-management-capstone-ideas/
Neurology is always an excitement to me and the first day of my neurology class gives me utmost experience and so much fun. read here that will give you a clear idea about the writing services.
I always like to read some post about MBA related as I am going to do my MBA within fewer time and so I need to know more of it. good site to get more ideas on the thesis, research and term papers writing.
A classical explanation on neurology really liked the formation. if you want to read more, check out the author as he has a lot of ideas to share on neurology with the audience.
WOW, Catalina thank you for suggesting a great idea useful link for the camp lovers. Iceland will be the great place for camping. Looking forward to planning one trip.
