What area is your PhD in? I wasn't sure what MD meant I am not sure we have that in Oz,
My PhD is in microbiology and immunology. An MD stands for medical doctor--it is kind of a strange program here in the US. You do 2 years of medical school classes and then go into your thesis work and then go back to do the clinical part of medical school. It is to train people who want to do both research and be a physician. A long haul, but I guess I really like being in school.

It is funny, I was not interested in doing obstetrics and gynecology for a specialty before everything happened, but I realize the scientific community does not know and understand women's bodies at all. So right now I think I may want to be a high risk obstetrician. I don't know....I guess I just realized how vulnerable I was and am right now and want to be a part of a process that heals and helps women in a similar situation.

Take care everyone and LOTS of babydust!
