Do you ever have one of those moments where you meet a friend of a friend in a seemingly random place? Today I was working in the Endocrine department of the hospital and met a 4th year medical student from my school. We worked together throughout the day. At the end of the day, we headed to a departmental meeting to talk about difficult cases, and I heard this person talking about her travel experiences during a break in medical school. The story sounded familiar so I looked down at her badge and saw her last name....GASP!!!!...this is the sister of a GREAT FRIEND of MY sister...follow that? :-) It is crazy!
To help you realize the enormaty of this in my mind:
My sister met her friend when we lived in CA (we left in 1988), and now her friend lives in Florida. They kept in touch and are still great friends to this day. Such great friends that when the friend's sister got married, my sister flew to Florida to attend the wedding. This wedding happened recently, and the name on the badge is now her maiden name. Anyway, my sister told me to look this person up on campus, but I wasn't sure how to find her! God intervened and placed us in the same rotation at the same time! It was awesome to talk with her - I love when stuff like this happens! It is like walking through a large airport in another state and running into a good friend :-)
Other than that, it was a good day of clinic too. We had some interesting cases of Growth Hormone Deficiency and Turner Syndrome. I am learning a lot about the pathways of how hormones affect different parts of the body. More to come in ISBM this semester.
