I like it because it's hard.
No, not that - perv.
I've been studying and just looked at some sample endocrinology cases and damn, they're hard. Not impossible, just gets the noggin' churning and though it probably doesn't bode well for my test scores, it makes me like this profession even more. I like it because it can leave me stumped...it makes me want to strive for more...
I've heard several times that medicine is as much an art as it is a science, and the more I learn, the more I see that there are so many ways to go about getting to the same place. That leaves a lot of room for practicing your own style. Even if it's as simple as a treatment regime, those who are more bold, will probably go guns blaring and try the latest and greatest, or even make something up - go on a hunch, and those who are cautious may sit back and wait...it's self expression in science. It's art. That concept extends to every aspect from the way you deal with the client to how you go about finding the right diagnosis. It's just trippy...and so exciting.
That said, one would think that I would have renewed vigor to study, but at the end of the day, a body can only take so much. What it does though, is remind me that I love what I'm doing, and makes me excited to pick up the books and do all again tomorrow. =)
