The Beginning

I have entered medical school. I am a medical student. Hmm...any way I phrase it, this new circumstance still seems weird. I'm sure shortly it will be very clearly my reality.


The purpose of this blog:
1) to reflect...... Reflection is a necessary step in learning. I plan to weave into my blog various "disciplines" or what have you (e.g. biology,medicine, anthropology, spirituality, nutrition, maybe a little farming...art, language.......afterall all things are interconnected.

"Reflect upon the inner realities of the universe, the secret wisdoms involved, the enigmas, the inter-relationships, the rules that govern all. For every part of the universe is connected with every other part by ties that are very powerful and admit of no imbalance, nor any slackening whatever." -'Abdu'l-Baha

2) to share.....provide others access to a medical student's experience for whomever it may be useful (my friends and family or a prospective med student)

3) to remember....if I don't give myself time (even with a busy med student schedule) to capture those really amazing epiphanies and stories and images borne of intense study, thought, dissection, service etc. I will likely be disappointed.

4) to provide joy.....I hope that through both humor and the exploration of the sacredness of medicine I will bring joy to those reading it.

5)________________ (surely I will find other purposes too )

Lastly I hope I don't make any informational errors or that my thoughts are taken for anything even approximating authority. I am a mere student....and an imperfect one. I am posting in a spirit of sharing not necessarily educating.


***NOTE***
Sacral- from Latin for "sacred," describes region of the vertebral column inferior to lumbar region and superior to coccyx
Humerus-from Latin "humer" meaning shoulder....a bone of the upper limb....but it's homophone humorous...well you know.
