First off...Great month, great city, great company :) This was the first month that Linds and I have been together since the three weeks were together in May. So basically out of the last six months that is all I have seen her minus the iChat convos that we've had. I was spending my month at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical center and affiliate of Harvard and she is at Cambridge Health alliance for the month. Everything associated with this program is "an affiliate of Harvard," which is understandably so even though I didn't feel the program was very strong. Minus the program there was a lot of fun to be had outside of working.

The first weekend we were there we went to a Sox game at Fenway which was blast and gave me something to knock off my bucket list. Here are a couple of the pics i got at the game.

In addition to the ballgame we were able to tour the Sam Adams brewery. Let me tell you, this was a blast. We show up and they are sampling a couple new beers, so naturally we tried them both and cast our vote for our favorite. Then we went on our free tour of the brewery which commenced with a taste testing session and some free glasses to go with it. But Wait, if you go to the little restaurant down the street and order a Sam Adams you get a free scientifically configured glass. Let me tell you a little bit about the ingenuity of this glass.

     1- the shape, designed to perfectly fit in your hand with accommodative grooves for your lips

     2- the bottom half is 2x thicker than the top so your beer doesn't get warm

     3- There are laser microetchings in the bottom of the glass so there is always some carbonation and a little head to your beer.

Thing of beauty

Lindsey received some sexy new shoes for out date. No date pics from me you have to check out her blog, i didnt have my camera.

The program I was visiting has a nice little perk that allows employees to go to any Red Sox game for 5$ but you have to wait 30 mins til after the first pitch has been thrown. Not a bad little deal since the seats we got were the first row behind the bullpen. We decided to go on a Tuesday night which turned out to be a great game with a bunch of homeruns and a Boston win. 

There weren't too many exciting cases for the month but one that was really fun was a little foreign body removal.

All in all, Lindsey and I had a special and unforgettable month, neither of us were very fond of the programs but we took away some memories and experiences we will always remember. 

Another month apart though as I will be in Pittsburgh and she is in the D. Time is moving quickly and we only have 2.5 months til interviews. We are both ready and excited to get through interviews as we are feeling burnt out at this time. 

Heres a little map of the places I've been, I would estimate that Ive driven about 9,000 miles since the beginning of June. 

Til next time 

Peace,
