I can't make you!
I finished residency in 2001. Of course, that was the year of 9/11. The trauma from that incident brought fear to us all who thought we were safe in this beloved country.

This list could go on for pages and pages and pages, but what remains the same is the fact that no matter what the situation was, somehow and someway, it all worked out.
What do we do when it’s time to give a presentation or write an article?
I graduated from residency over 20 years ago, but most of the time I still think of myself as one of the “young docs.”
