What am I doing?
For my very first independent study, I decided to do something completely outside my comfort zone. I am someone who hates blood, going to the doctor, or getting shots. So, to challenge myself, I chose to shadow an OB-GYN and a NICU doctor for the duration of my intensive. I'm hoping the experience will open my eyes. My goal is to not only face some of my fears but get an inside look at the difficulties, successes, and failures of what the female body can do and produce. I'm going into this intensive having no outside knowledge on these topics so I am excited to learn a lot and hopefully come out of it with a greater appreciation for doctors, babies, and women.
