First day of neurology elective

Change of plans:

Originally, I scheduled child psychiatry for July. Over the past few months, though, as I've been talking with some of my classmates who are going into neurology, I began regretting the fact that I never got a taste of adult neurology. What if it's substantially different from child neurology, and what if I really like it? Like it enough to perhaps make a career out of it?

Regardless of the low likelihood that I will actually go into neurology, I decided last-minute to switch my child psychiatry elective for neurology. At the very least, neurology is very relevant to the combined practice of medicine and psychiatry.

My day started at 7am, as will all weekdays this month. I had only one patient to round on in the morning, then I had only one consult patient in the afternoon. My resident told me to go home at 3:30. I don't expect every day this month to be this slow, but it's definitely a change of pace from last month.
