News from before New Year's Day 2012

2011 was a productive year for me: I interviewed for jobs doctor finished my medical studies, and started my new job. Interviews with American students in Medicine involves traveling around the country. My travels took me to from East Coast to West Coast, and I took a detour to Hawaii for the annual meeting of the Academy of Neurology. But the matching process (The Match) by chance put me near my parents. Working as a doctor (versus a medical student) was scary the first 3 months, but less and less as time passes. Last weekend, when I went home for Christmas, my parents and I went to see War Horse by Steven Spielberg - I highly recommend this film beautifully shot and romantic about the First World War.
