Around graduation and the weeks since, people keep saying to me..."You're a doctor...how does it feel?" In truth it has all been rather surreal...especially considering that I haven't actually been working for months, but rather playing :) But interestingly, the thing that made it seem real to me was when I went to buy new long white coats.
Tomorrow my residency officially begins...I will go to clinic in the morning...and I will be a doctor. Though I officially became a doctor a few weeks ago, tomorrow it will be real.
I will introduce myself as the doctor, I will write orders or prescriptions...and no co-signature is necessary, mine is it!
Naturally I am very nervous, but this is it...I am a doctor.
