Wake Up Call

Today I had a wake up call!  It was really a work in progress but culminated today into an ER visit.  I have been having and still have a miserable headache that has lasted a week and I had tightening in my jaw.  Shortness of breath also plagued me today and I was worried that I could be a candidate for a heart issue?  What I learned after 4 hours in the ER was that I had a clean CAT Scan and EKG and I also had perfect blood pressure, no anemia,no elevated white blood cells and I wasn't pregnant(LOL-But I already knew that)!

The ER doctor said I need to follow up with my regular physician and get to the bottom of these headaches and so I am going to get right on that but meanwhile he suggested I eliminate all processed foods and de-stress. "I'm on it Doc!"


So, I've long known that I will have to master stress management in order to enjoy my life as a physician and why not start NOW! 
It's time for a life overhaul! 


So here is the plan: 

Add Yoga
Add Meditation
Add More Organic Foods
Add More Laughter
Add More Alone Time
Add A Team Sport
Add 3 Phone Calls a Week to Friends

Delete Processed Foods
Delete Negative Thoughts
Delete Negative People
Delete NEWS
Delete Most Caffiene

The above list is a work in progress but it's a start.  Life Overhaul in Progress!  One happy MD to BE coming up!!!
