Dedrum..... What Have You Done?????

So, a few hours after the immediate excitement of passing another hurdle, it hit me....

I am going to be a ...... Surgeon....... [Holy Implausible Scenarios, Batman!]

It happened as I was talking to a close friend. And as those words came out my mouth, I started to choke up.

All those years of struggle.
The sleepless nights.
The long days.
The times when I questioned myself, and questioned myself, and questioned myself.
The times when I came this close to quitting.
The times when I came this close to leaving.
The times when I felt my sanity slip...

And now this...

Now, there's a program that said "Yes Dedrum, we like you. We think that you have the right stuff, and we want you to have OUR coat, wear OUR name on your shoulder, and learn from OUR teachers as you heal OUR patients...."

Introducing DeDrum, Surgeon-in-training.

See why 2008 won't be like anything you've seen before.

I have only one comment/question...what sanity are you attempting to hold on to? I'm sure it was loss many many moons ago.
