What Have I Done? Why Am I Always All or None?

Tomorrow I take USMLE Step 2 CK (clinical knowledge).
A pretty big effing exam. 9 hrs long, but more than that, is it arguably the most important factor when being considered by potential residency programs.
Is it true the everyone takes off an entire month or even two to solely devote to studying for this exam?
You bet.
Is it true that everyone is calling me crazy?
Yup.
Is it true that we already knew I was a little crazy?
mmm yes sir yes ma'am. My parents may even raise their eyebrows and make a funny face that says, "haaa yaa right" in reference to "little" in front of the "crazy".  Which is totally fine with me, after all, I am a product of the two of their crazies put together. What did you expect!?

So that's tomorrow, the 14th.
Sunday, the 15th I depart 5am for Montreal and then turn around and come right back (except don't get in until 1030pm), just so I can renew my visa (you all remember how smoothly that went around this time last year???)
25th -- I take the MCCEE (the Canadian equivalent of Step 2 CK)
26th --- I take the IM shelf board exam. so what, who cares.
27th -- last day of IM rotation and take the hospital's final exam. Bitch please, that's child's play.
Immediately after, start driving to Halifax.
20 hrs later. Arrive.
30th -- start in the addictions psychiatry for 4 weeks. Insert big smile here.

Well... I fell (dove into) the rabbit hole a long-way back... I'm long past 'turning back now'.

Now, while you read this and send divine-genius-good-vibes my way (thanks for that - even though I'm probably already done the exam by the time you read this), I want to give you a gift back to show my appreciation of your support.

--->  Today I started in the ICU, where I will be for 2 weeks until I finish this IM rotation, and after 2 hours of rounding I am beginning to zone out a little... until I hear this...
Next patient.  This is a morbidly obese male who was rolled out of his bed.  He subsequently could not get up. And stayed there for 2 days.... His wife continued to feed him.  He then aspirated.  So he was finally admitted with aspiration pneumonia and acute-on-chronic kidney failure.

Just let that story, and more importantly the visual, ruminate with you.

You're welcome.
