Estoy en transición.

These pictures were taken at one of two places. Which is which is obvious enough. 1) Chief's Farewell dinner at Dr. Babu's house. 2) Formal graduation banquet

I don't think I'm going to take the time to explain who's who... but know that it's a collection of my co-residents, my Attendings, and their spouses/significant others




 This was our vascular team this past month. Tolga, one of the neurosurgery residents, who rotated with us just for the month, and Chief Heidi! We were supposed to have a fourth member, but lost him after only a few days on account of all the shuffling that was needed to cover everyone.



The end of another year of residency struck me as very ungratifying this year. For example, one of the prelim interns left one day, and that was that. He was moving onto a radiology residency. The rest of us, moving on with the next days of our lives. Absolutely zero "pomp and circumstance." Or the chiefs... it made me thankful that the program at least hosts the banquet in order to make some sort of symbolic gesture to recognize the closure of a huge chapter and transition onto the next.  None of our chiefs were able to have extended family there for their graduation this year. We were their family(s) and happy to be so.

Much Love.
