Long ago and far away(well, not that far)

Tomorrow is June 24, 2010. It will mark the first day I reported for my internship at LA County-USC Medical Center. It was a mere 37 years ago. I showed up for my first assignment or rotation on vascular surgery. I must admit, I was a little nervous. I would have to trust my education and experiences in medical school. I was doing a straight surgical internship so all my rotations would be in general surgery or a surgery subspecialty. The experiences I would have and the knowledge I would get during that one year would be more than the entire four years of medical school. Just thinking back.
