Payback Time Again
It feels good to pay it forward but I am of firm belief that is feels better to pay it back.
I am unabashedly La Sallian even if I have never received a loyalty award. My contention that they did not accept females until the year I started my studies there, nor my contention that my total length of stay with the institution outnumbers the years ( Read more... ) -

Doctors have to read thousands, maybe even millions, of pages worth of medical textbooks and journals.
Understandably, it can get tiring. Who am I to deprive my residents of a break once in a while? So, in connivance with the training officer, Dr. Hipol and Asela, we planned a micro mini wine and cheese party.
