Resident Reappears

Some residents are just more memorable than others.  There is a barely definable bell of knowledge, insight, and social grace that lumps most into this big ball.  A progression from novice to experienced occurs, the certificates get signed and onward they move to their next destination.  A few remain colleagues, some fill military or visa obligations, a few appear in print later on.

An article by a former resident, one of the most unique, came my way.  Nicest fellow, the type you would do anything to help advance.  And it took quite a lot.  He did not finish our program but transferred to a different specialty which now puts him face to face with the difficulties of the corona pandemic.  I remember most how appreciative he was of any assistance he received from faculty and other residents.  He remains appreciative for the people who assist him at the front lines of coronavirus.

There is no better gratification than learning that a former resident has been trained in the best way possible.
