It's a hot July in Southwestern Ontario, and I had forgotten how muggy and nasty it could be. But who's complaining? Come January, we will be wishing for warm weather.
I have just started a 4 week rural family practice rotation here in SW Ontario, the one Canadian elective I was able to arrange. And that was only because the doctor I am working with was willing to go to bat for me. Thanks Dr.!
I am still in the proving and explaining myself stage. But hopefully, as the clinic I'm working with gets used to me, they will realize that I am not a moron, and things will get better. It is a good group of people to work for, though, and I'm enjoying the experience.
It's really odd to be back in the city I lived in for 3 years before I got into medical school. Things are at one hand familiar, and yet not. And I am now a very different person than the one that left here three and a half years ago. And much of my social network has either moved away, or I have lost touch with.
And once the month is over, it's back to Detroit for 3 more months, and then I'm done. It's a little scary to think that I'll be finished so soon. And then I'll have 8 months off and residency applications/interviews (hopefully).
So the big push is on. And as I start the process of applying to the US and Canadian Matches, this blog may degenerate into a rant on the Canadian medical establishment and how they treat IMG's. I'll try to keep my frustration in check.
So I'm off for now. Be well!
