The pace of rural life

It turns out that my mentor does not work on Thursdays. So when Wednesday rolled around, I asked him, "What would you like me to be doing tomorrow?" His reply was that the purpose of me being out here is to experience the life of a country doc and that I should take the day off. Can't argue with that!

I studied in the morning then headed out to Steamboat to meet up with one of the ER doctors at Kremmling who I made friends with. He took me to the Mad Creek trailhead for a "hike" (I ran, he rode his mountain bike) that ended up at Strawberry Springs. We soaked for a little while, ran/rode back down, then I grabbed some dinner at a local diner.

Not a bad way to spend a Thursday afternoon as a third-year medical student!
