White Coat Ceremony
It seems hard to believe, but medical school has FINALLY arrived! The journey getting here has been long and arduous (13 years to be exact), and looming ahead is the promise that this is not the end but merely the beginning! As is customary, last Saturday marked a very significant milestone in that we received our "white coat", which symbolizes our induction into the profession as physicians-to-be. In other words, our life as a physician begins NOW and not upon graduation. I find this quite encouraging! Given the fact that I will graduate from medical school one month after turning the BIG 40, it is comforting to know that my life for these next four years is not "wasting away" while awaiting for my new career to begin. It is an exciting time, indeed -- as the means are an essential and integral part of the end!
