Me and My Dad

My relationship with my dad is pretty great. I love him and respect him immensely, and in turn he loves me and gives me all the guidance I could ever ask for. Also we have the most engaging conversations about philosophy, spirituality, Game of Thrones…

The latest fun thing we've done together was only about five hours ago. I volunteer at the hospital where he works, and I finished early today. Rather than go home early, I met up with my dad and shadowed him in his juvenile dermatomyositis clinic. That is… I watched him do doctor stuff.

I was there as he saw three different patients, and was able to discuss them with him on the way home. (My dad is great at explaining things; he breaks everything down, so that you're never lost in big words or complicated concepts.) It was a great insight into the world of diagnosing, treating, and just overall interacting with patients.

Part of the reason I'm living at home for second year is because I missed my family so much when I was in residence. I came back so often! Might as well save some money, and get to spend so much time with my parents that I get sick of them… just in time for third year. :P
