Well, since all the interns seem to be posting on this area instead of the residents area, I'll post this here. Just wondering where some of the people that I met on the trail last year ended up matching? My name is Jon Shook, from Indiana University. I know I met a lot of you out there, and I don't remember all of your names, so I'm sure a lot of you won't remember me.
Just wondering how everyones' year is going. I'm at Loyola in Chicago and I'm really happy with my choice. My first 2 months were pretty painful: Trauma SICU and Vascular Surgery. But now I'm on Ortho Trauma and I am seeing a light (although dim) at the end of the tunnel. I've rodded a couple of femurs, plated a few ankles, taken out lots of hardware, and done a lot of incisions and closures. Pretty good exposure thus far.
I go to the ER next month, which is pretty sweet here. You're required to work 15, ten hour shifts for the month. I'm basically stacking may days in the beginning of the month and then taking the last couple weeks of Oct off.
Chicago is awesome (when I get time to go out) during the summer. I'm fearing the winter though! Oh-well, I'll be inside all day anyway.
Post a few lines on the site when you get a chance.
Lates,
Jon :tongue:
