Rotationships

I've just come to the sudden realization that rotations are a lot like relationships. You start out unsure, uncomfortable and really unaware of what you have just gotten yourself into. Slowly you learn to court the beast and predict its next moves.  You may ocassionally stumble and get upset in your relationship due to miscommunication.  Ultimately you end up getting out of it what you put into it. But then you suddenly break up, except in a strange way. When you pass the preceptor in the hall-way you have awkward hellos, bring up old jokes and laugh about the past. Then in the end, it all builds up to that ultimate relationship, your job after residency.

Hence: rotationships. Ta-da!
