So, I know this shouldn't come as a surprise to me, but it seems so weird to think that Ben is actually going to be a doctor soon. I think that this little fact finally hit me yesterday when our neighbor came over and asked Benj to come take a look at his sick son--Ben's first house call! He grabbed his doctor bag and ran through the snow to check on him....okay, really, he just needed his otoscope and there was hardly any snow, but still. Poor AJ; his dad (also a medical student) had been trying to look down his throat using a spoon as a tongue depressor, consequently he was not a happy camper when Ben got there. But, Ben was able to take a quick look and told them to give him some Tylenol to take down his fever and then take him to a real doctor today, since it looked like he had strep throat. Anyway, it was all no big deal, and I guess I should get used to this, because Student Dr. Schrant is almost done being a student. Who knew this would sneak up on me so fast? Four years sure have flown by.
