Start anew

I am about 4 days away from starting my final year of medicine.  It has been a long way to come.  When I started this journey, I was worried that I was not learning enough, that I didn't have enough brainpower left after a decade of fun... now I worry about more mundane things.

When will I start work?

When will I start making money?

Remuneration for doctor's is respectable, but not what the general public envision.  I will not make the amount of money I dreamed of as a kid.  I will make more than most are able to.

I heard a horrible thing today.  One person went to university with student who referred to the poor as the "great unwashed".... I don't want my children to grow up that way.  That is a poor excuse for a human being.

Perhaps not even human.
