"With pain comes strength"

I am a native Washingtonian, who loves the Oregon Ducks, and is trying to survive my last year of medical school. I am a lover of being active, reading, and spending times with my loved ones. I decided to create this blog to help keep life in perspective and have an outlet other than medical school to exercise my mind.
