an early application to medical school

Dear Grown-Up Doctors,

My name is Maren. I am a doctor too! I got my white coat this week. It was very exciting. It is a little big for me, but I think I will grow into it.

I am already very good at practicing medicine. I know how to use my stethoscope, and I can take your temperature. Remember this scene from my birthday?


That is so six months ago. Now I know that the blood pressure cuff goes on your arm. Mostly. 

Also, I can mix up medicine using my tea set and I am very good at putting blankets on my sick stuffed animals. I have opened my own medical practice in the tent in my room and I take care of all my baby dolls every day.

I am also a little bit bossy but maybe this will come in handy if I am running a whole medical practice. On the other hand, I am also pretty good at saying 'please' and 'thank you', and I really love to help, so those are good things.

So, grown-up doctors, if you need any help, you know where to find me.

Sincerely,
Doctor Maren.



P.S. I am also quite the burgeoning artist, so, grown-up artists: I can help you too.
