As third years, we are encouraged to practice writing out SOAPs for all case discussions. I think that I can take it a step further and apply the SOAP principle to all my life problems, including that of what the h--- am I supposed to do after graduating? Hopefully, a logical, medically oriented SOAP can solve the problem.

Patient reports stress and nightmares in her sixth semester of vet school. Most nightmares involve missing an exam or showing up unprepared at surgery where she then gets yelled at. Patient has received her block schedule for fourth year and is happy to have a perfect schedule, exactly what she hoped for. She was recently married, and so now has limits to where she can find a job after school, and plans to move to Florida after graduating to join her husband where he is starting a job this summer. This has increased her job finding stress as she will be far from family, and has to move a herd of twenty goats to Florida as well.
