Signout is hospital slang for the transfer of information between patient care teams. It is also the name of this blog, which represents one of the less dysfunctional ways in which Dr. Signout copes with her participation in a U.S. medical residency program.

For most of my adolescence, all I wanted was for someone to sit me down and say, "Your body isn't what makes you worth loving," but it didn't come-not for years.

I don't think I'm anxious about working in the NICU, although God knows I've got reasons to be.

Somehow, once I resigned myself to wanting to be trained in pediatrics and began interacting more with kids, I found that being "good" with them only meant wanting to be around them.

YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.
