That which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger!!!

 
So this morning as I put the finishing touches on a document related to my response to my last death pharma gig, I'm reminded of why I would have been a hellva an attorney, LOL!! In fact, I would be  a "beast" my kid's words, should I decide to go that route and I have to be honest and say that I have thought about it a couple times, proof of which is that I blogged about it before. Maybe I'm just an idealist that needs a wake-up call that when money is involved, most people will do the wrong thing. Or maybe I just keep hoping that one day people will "do onto others as they want done onto to them or their loved ones". Or maybe I just need to make sure that I continue to build my business so as to avoid the kind of situations that was my last death pharma gig. The bottom line is that in the years since this country elected it's first Black president, the EEOC has had more claims filed with their agency than ever before. And that is so NOT a coincidence to me. :( Yeah, I'd be a beast in the courtroom..................................)

Moving on, I'm almost caught up in my class and taking my pulled/strained muscle meds as instructed has been key. I always forget that while I may feel (most of the time) and look like I'm in my early 30's, my body is in it's late 40's, LOL!! So, recoop time and medicating properly is key for treating minor injuries. I also had a moment this week where I thought "gee, this informatics stuff is kinda boring", then I reminded myself that I'll one day combine it with clinical duties, which will more than provide enough "action" for the slow informatics days.

So to keep myself focused and motivated, I spend a LOT of time reading the Resident boards of a popular site for Docs and it's fun! Except that on one level, I'm reminded how many working environments are LOT like middle/high school. Then I get disillusioned (again) and remind myself that no working situation is perfect (except that maturity is ALL I'm asking for), I'm really interested in locums work in undeserved areas, and I also have my own business to build too. Now how locums work and research are going to combine I have NO idea unless I do more consulting on research projects than actually having my own research group. Plus, the research environment has changed drastically since I started in the 80's, and I don't know if I think a research career as I originally participated, is a realistic possibility for anyone anymore anyway! Triple "any", ROTFL!!!
