hello world... im an M2

so, i really hate to write. in fact, that's probably why i was a science major in undergrad. that was my assurance that i wouldn't have to write many papers. i'll take a test any day over having to write a paper.

so why start a blog? well, i have a couple friends who blog. they convniced me to try it. and, in a futile attempt to remember the vast amount of knowledge that is expected to be memorized by medical students, i have devised a plan to help remember this stuff. I'll try to post once a day the most interesting, or obscure, or perhaps just the fact that i find hardest to memorize. maybe this way I'll be able to convert that bit of information into a neuronal synaptic pattern in my brain that will fire when prompted on a test. without any further blogging, today's fact:

100,000 people a year die from pharmacological errors. that seems like a high number to me. it might be a good idea to question your doctor, nurse, or who ever is giving you that injection/pill/iv drip next time...
