PA Send Off Dinner

The UTMB PA program gave the 1st year students a clinical sending off dinner on Wednesday. It was a time of fine dining (just kidding), presents (again just kidding), and advice for the upcoming most difficult year of my life. Because the department was too cheap to allow us to bring guests, Janna was my date. Here are a couple pictures:

Fun times! My first rotation is a surgical elective in Urology at Baylor in the Medical Center. It should be interesting putting this country girl in the urban jungle. I will be riding the metro to work each day and navigating miles of hospital and research buildings. Yikes!

I am so interested in hearing how all this goes. I had the unfortuate experience of the washing machine lid slaming down on my arm. Burgered it up pretty good. A fine PA fixed me up. They glued me back together! We went to the Acess Clinic and Emily Harder was the receptionist!! I got a tetanus shot. I told them, with pride, my granddaughter was studying to be a PA. Also mentioned my grandson was working on medical doctor degree. Sorry this got too long.
