Residency orientation

Orientation today wasn't too bad. To me it seemed a lot like my first day of kindergarten. There were big people at the school who were nice to us, gave us apples, peanut butter and bagels. We also got stickers. There were a lot of people who I don't know but who I want to be my friends. We all talked about the things we like to do. I sometimes felt awkward and like I didn't belong. The big teacher told us things that seemed kind and important but she had a whole lot of rules. We had classes and we played together.

Unlike kindergarten, we got to play pretend intubation on neonate dolls, suture on plastic flesh and practice shoulder dystocia moves on plastic pelvises with dolls that did not have nearly enough lubrication.

I think if we got to play with things like that in kindergarten it would have been a heck of a lot more fun.
