I am a "real" doctor

I just bought my first stethoscope the other day and the feeling was amazing! I feel like I am officially a doctor now and I spent a lot of time walking around with it around my neck and listening to my own heart beat. It is interesting how one simple piece of equipment can define my identity. I was tempted to buy a lot more equipment like an ophthalmoscope (for looking in eyes) and an otoscope (for looking in ears) but the total would have been well over $1000. However, I am glad I am not in dentistry because their tuition is much higher than mine and they need over $10000 worth of equipment! Hopefully my skills will not suffer because of not buying all the extras but every exam room has most of this equipment anyway. I guess it is official now...I am going to be a doctor.
