I survived my second week of residency. There were some really low points, but some highs as well. Some of the tests I approve are looking a bit more familiar, I am mastering a new electronic medical record, and have started reading my own protein electrophoresis tests. Of course, I still feel lost a good percentage of the time and often need to say \"I don't know but I will get back to you,\" when clinicians call. But I have also had some very nice interactions where I felt like I was being helpful in teaching someone about a test to order or calling out important results in a timely manner that will lead to better patient care. It is nice to feel useful and I can see that being a consultant can be very rewarding.<\/p>

But unfortunately as the days have gone by I have come to see that continuing to blog is going to be difficult with the demands on my time. The learning curve is so huge in pathology I need to come and read, and I have Step 3 looming ahead. Plus, I am not in medical school anymore, so it is time to wrap this particular blog. <\/p>

While I am happy that I made it to the end of medical school relatively unscathed, found a specialty, and matched at a great program, I am really sad to stop writing here. This blog has been my outlet through the incredible highs and lows of the past several years. It started as a place to vent, and a way for my friends and family to keep in touch with my life. I always tried to keep it real and to bring out the humor that I saw around me. And slowly my blog grew into something bigger as more people started reading, commenting, linking to and emailing me. I have been honored and thrilled that what I have written spoke to other people and was helpful for readers. <\/p>

What is next for The Lone Coyote? For now, I need a break from medical blogging. I need some time to let the dust settle and see if it is even feasible to continue medical blogging in residency. There is a placeholder for a new Lone Coyote medical blog at http:\/\/lonecoyotemd.blogspot.com<\/a>
that I may start on sometime in the future. I will post both here and at that site if I do decide to ever get it up and running. And I do hope to turn this blog into a book someday (if you are a publisher, agent, or know someone in the business who can hook me up, please let me know). I figure I will leave the blog up in the meantime to hopefully provide information for people out there looking to learn about what medical school is about.<\/p>

In the meantime it would be impossible for The Lone Coyote to stop writing completely. So if you've enjoyed my non-medical musings hop on over to The City and Other Random Musings<\/a> to continue the adventure. <\/p>

It has been quite a ride. 772 posts. Medical school. And even a bit of residency too. Thank you to all of you readers for your support and for joining me in my travels through the world of medical training. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, be they medical or not.<\/p>
