Newton's first law of motion states that an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force. Since the moment I decided to pursue medicine, I feel like I stepped onto a vector moving forward at constant velocity. Given the fast-paced nature of a medical curriculum, we must do our best to keep up with this momentum that is slowly bringing us towards this goal. The prolonged break from hospital rotations and standard curriculum many of us experienced due to COVID felt like a disruption to this process. While I am now slowly regaining my footing in clinical rotations, I often wonder if my pathway to medicine would have looked different had COVID not acted as a disrupting force.
