Girls Will be Girls
“Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn’t matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.”
- Anne Frank
Today was a good day. I actually ended up changing my mind over the weekend. I realized that I had decided to stay and rotate on the adolescent boys psychiatry unit out of a feeling of obligation. I knew that they were short staffed and could use the help. However, I realized that I wanted to gain a more diverse exposure during my second year of residency. So, I requested to switch to the adolescent girls unit for the month of October.
I enjoyed my first day with the girls today. I can already see the drastic differences with the girls. There is less testosterone and less physical violence. However, there is plenty of drama to go around. Also, since the unit has a lower census, I actually had the time today to THINK, which was a welcome change.
It’s time to study for my upcoming exam this Thursday. Enjoy the photos with this post, taken this past Saturday night of Oktoberfest fun (thanks, Chris! and shout out to Amanda, who reads my blog, yo!).
