Welcome to silicon valley....


Well its been a long time since my last post so let me catch you up on what has been going on lately. The month of July was spent at Kaiser Santa Clara in northern California. After my month in San Diego the caliber of program only had one way to go which was up. Prior to starting my month I decided to venture on down to Santa Cruz for the 4th and check it out, after all it was only a 30 mile drive so I figured I would be there in no time. After three hours of driving I finally made it and found a parking spot. In the future I would not recommend going to Santa Cruz on the fourth of July as everybody had the same idea. (side note: Happy Bday to my mom on this day) I did manage to check out the beach and the boardwalk amongst the abundance of people.

Beautiful drive to Santa Cruz

The Program is top notch as I didn't have a lot of cons about the program. The podiatry department is so well respected and integrated into the ortho department which is hard to find. The podiatry residents are the only surgical residents in the hospital so they are primary with ortho whenever they aren't in clinic. The attendings are all top notch people with great backgrounds and very easy to get along with. With that being said this program definitely ranks up there as a contender for me.



As a quick side story, on my way home one day I decided to stop at Wendys and get some chicken nuggets and a frosty. I saw this couple and couldn't help laugh when I saw them because this is a look into the future of Lindsey and I as Wendy's is the only fast food place she will go. Nice napkin Linds :)

After a great month I set out on a very long 2400 mile drive to Detroit Michigan for my next stop on my trek across America.
