Recent happenings, oh, Hawaii and such

It's been forever since I've posted last. Since I last posted, I went to Hawaii with my friend Katherine from Queen's, skiing to Whistler with Becca, Anthony, and Dan, and have been whipping through many different rotations in the hospital.
While I was in Hawaii hanging out with Katherine, I came to the conclusion that I still want to follow through with doing obstetrics and gynaecology. After the rotation, I was like, "OH man, why do I have to happen to like one of the most physically demanding specialties possible???" But after talking to Katherine and her mom, who is an ob/gyn, and mulling over it, I realised I really just have to go through with it--I didn't work so flipping hard my whole life to get to med school and then do a specialty I'm not interested in just for the easy lifestyle! I think that if I don't love what I do it will be very hard to do something for the rest of my life. I know it will be worthwhile in the end. It will be interesting to see how the Lord decides to lead me to use my career in the long term for his glory--whether that's abroad or in Canada, etc.
Right now I'm in paediatrics working with premies and kids with many different illnesses. Most of the kids I'm working with right now have temporary illnesses that will get better, so it's not as depressing as I thought it might be. The sad thing is seeing the babies who are born to drug-addict mothers and are going through withdrawal. The other night I was doing some paperwork for a new kid on the ward, and one of the babies in withdrawal was wailing...it was so sad, no nurse had time to pick her up, so I picked her up, kissed her and held her in my right arm while I wrote with my left and she settled down instantly...The poor baby just needed some love...
That's about it for the general latest on how I'm doing.
