As a child, I was fascinated with birthmarks. People would have large brown ones, small brown ones, an oddly shaped scar, or multiple spots here and there that they’d be proud to show. Now that I’m a medical provider, I still find skin marks interesting but now I know what a few of them areContinue reading “Birthmark”

Circumcision-God’s Covenant
I remember the first time that I witnessed a circumcision. I was an undergraduate student, shadowing various Pediatricians.

It takes me a long time to fall asleep and when I do, I’m up at about 2 or 3 a.m. So I probably only sleep 3 or 4 hours every night.” This is a typical conversation that I haveContinue reading “Day 4: Circadian Rhythm”
