ALBANY, NY – Annabell Mittelschmerz is relishing the thought of graduating medical school in 10 short months and starting an extremely rewarding 5 years as a general surgery intern. But more than that is graduating and finally having patients call her “Miss Mittelschmerz.”
When asked what she was most excited about residency, student doctor Mittelschmerz replied, “Honestly, it’s to be presumed to be a nurse, a PA, a physical therapist or pretty much anything except a doctor despite being in a herd of nothing but doctors who all happen to be males.”
Mittelschmerz is thrilled to be following in the footsteps of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, Dr. Meredith Grey, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and countless other physicians called nurse over the years.
