Blogging the trek of an non-traditional, older dude through a traditional physician educational process in a non-traditional world. Some people go out and buy a muscle car for their midlife crisis (I miss my '70 Camaro), but I decided to go to medical school. It is in God's hands and it's a RUSH.
"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few." -Shunryu Suzuki, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind"
Within the depth of my age, experience, former education and need to be right, I am searching diligently for a "beginner's mind." It is amazing how receptive real teachers are to that mind, as it creates the willingness in others to share what they are experts about.
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness. 
— James Thurber
