We had a great two weeks. The weather was awful, but so what. We enjoyed all the graduation stuff.There were 96 bright young men and women that are now MD's and going on to specialize.A great deal was said about the patient and how they should really look to the whole person and be really one with them. I do believe that some if not all want to be that way.I pray they are.
My daughter had a "This is Your Life" party on the Monday after graduation.She had his 7th grade teacher, a childhood friend that he lost touch with,a cub scout leader and several others hidden in the garage as she went through his years and they came out on cue.Nice evening finished off with lots of cake and coffee.
The rest of the time my dd showed me how to burn disks of pictures and music on the pc.We also worked with clay.I'll show you that with pictures--sometime soon I hope.
Now it's midnight and that's very late for me.Thank you for the warm welcome back.Sorry this was so long--martha

There is a big discussion here in England about the medical situation - of course there is free care for everyone, but the waits are so long. Now, it seems that there aren't enough trained technicians to operate all the scanning machines, etc. so this expensive equipment is standing idle, while people who need treatments are waiting. There are cases of women with breast cancer, having to wait up to 3 months to get radiation treatment because of the shortage of people. My DSIL has a problem with dizzyness - and asked to see an EENT specialist - he is on a wait-list - might be months before an appointment is made. So - with all our complaints in the US - we are better off in most cases.
Glad to have you back - sorry about the weather. Rosemary
The specialty that is really suffering here in the states is Obstetrics-They are the most sued of any.I think out of 96 there are two.Many of those in practice are retiring and the women must really travel to get to a Dr. Bad stuff. Doesn't sound good over there either.I think we'd best learn to be careful and not need the Dr's so much--like we had a choice.
The party took a great deal of planning.She's that type and does it all well.
You're almost home!What memories you will have.martha
