So I was at Dr. Shadow’s recently, the physician I’ve been in the family medicine office with since my first year. 4 years is a huge amount of time especially when you consider I’m in my twenties and I’m all changing/morphing/becoming a big girl inside. Then add to that learning how to talk to patients, play role the doctor, etc… Anyways, I would go in the room, go over whatever problem they had come in – and for many of the patient encounters they were set. They didn’t even ask when Dr. Shadow was also coming in. They seemed surprised that he was even coming in at all. Knowing how nervous I was the first year going into patients rooms – the terror is just more than anyone can ever imagine – it felt pretty great knowing that I’d really progressed and was no longer the little girl shaking her boots, trying to figure out what to do with a simple cold!

Congratulations! Isn’t it so great to look back and see your progress? That happened to me over the year I was in my masters in teaching! Encouraging!

YAY! Just what Janet & Krista said.
It does seem that going from being scared and not being sure of yourself to knowing just what to do with confidence sneaks into your life without warning.
Congrats Dr Goofy Girl!

Aren’t we all just little girls “changing/morphing/becoming a big girl inside”?. It has been great being able to follow your journey this far….

I smiled as I read this…..it’s just proof that over time and with patience, all of us do eventually reach a point where we become comfortable in our newly acquired role. I think you’ve done super!
