Introduction

Goodness, it's only now that I realized my mere lurking (and not writing anything) would be noticed. Haha. I received an email from HealthUnlocked that noted I hadn't logged in since Oct. 1, 2023 and was asking if I'm alright. Well, I'm still in one piece. chuckles very shyly

I go by Skitty in most online spaces. My medical training started in 2017, and I've had delays along the way because of health reasons. I was in a slump during the final months of 2022, and wanted to stop training, but eventually found my "why" once more and decided to transfer to a medical school closer to my home province.

If I remember right, I found this site while I was idly scrolling and lurking on reddit (Yes, I'm that much of a lurker haha) and got really curious. I only ever intended to lurk. I still may, for medical training is quite demanding. But I'll do my best to contribute from time to time.

Looking forward to experiences here

I must say, I've never heard of HU doing that before. That's a nice thing to do, though, checking to see if you're ok.

Wow... with all the members ( greater than 84, 000) here on HU I can't believe they had time to check on you.

I love your user name. So peaceful

Awww, thank you! I once tried that username on 7Cups and thought to try it here again

And yes, I also was quite surprised HU had time to check on me! I was surprised and touched.

Happy to have you here Skitty!

Great job overcoming that slump you faced, that part of your post stuck out to me and I am just glad to hear that. Clearly you are a determined person, that is admirable.

Please do stick around and contribute, we need more people such as yourself. There are many here that would benefit from interacting with you. And I hope that you will also get some benefit from that as well.

Thank you for the reply! I'll do my best to contribute- medical school can be quite hectic also at times (shy chuckle)
