@MalRobichaux It will get easier. The first couple of rotations are hard, but by the end of the year you'll feel much more confident and at ease. You are learning more than you realize. Hang in there!

Woke up thinking about aneurysmal bone cysts, so I pulled a case:
🔹️Blood filled cystic spaces
🔹️Fibrous septae with giant cells, spindle cells, hemosiderin, and osteoid
🔹️FISH (+) for USP6 rearrangements
🔹️Ddx: giant cell tumor, telangiectatic osteosarcoma

While on call last Wed. night, the Blood Bank called with post-transfusion DAT results for a patient following a transfusion reaction. They answered the phone "This is Blood Bank", to which I sleepily replied "Hi, Blood Bank, this is Richard". 😰 #foiblesofpathcall#mortified

First week of surgical pathology has been both rewarding and challenging. Whipple's, small bowel/colon, uteri, and the occasional gallbladder or appendix. Being trained on triaging next week!
@MELanocyteMD Thank you, Melanie. I reckon the most growth occurs at the bench. I look forward to getting started, but like you, I'm sure I'll take a long time when I start!
Just got my schedule and it looks like I'll be starting on surgical pathology two months back to back. Any recommended reading before I hit the ground running in the grossing room July 1st?
Virtually graduated with my Doctor of Medicine degree this morning. While it feels a little underwhelming not being able to dress in my regalia and walk across the stage, I am comforted that my four years of hard work have paid off and I am now one of NC's newest doctors!
