As my time here in New Mexico draws to a close, I find myself experiencing the familiar mixture of sadness and excitement... I've had a blast, shared some amazing experiences, and developed friendships that I am sure will last for the rest of my life. Sharing the experiences of rock climbing in Socorro, slaying the gnar in Taos, and riding the rollercoaster of match day has solidified us as a team in many ways... I'm a bit saddened to be leaving this exceptional group of people. However, as the time draws near for the final exam and my journey back East, I am also excited about the next adventure...The final exam for the wilderness medicine course will be conducted this Friday on Sandia peak... We will work as mountain rescue teams: locating, stabilizing, packaging, treating, and extricating injured patients from the hill... Beats the hell out of a Scantron. Afterwards, we will part ways, off to wrap up the last few months of medical school and prepare for our fast approaching internships...
I will be hitting the road at the ass crack of dawn Saturday in order to spend a bit of time with the fam before jumping on a plane for India. Elizabeth and I will be in Himachal Pradesh for the next month, treating the exiled Tibetan Buddhist monks in Dharamsala before heading out into the Himalayan foothills to set up clinics in the rural villages. After being on the road since around Christmas, I am excited to see my lady, my dog, and my family... You guys are incredible and I love you all... that reminds me:
Happy Birthday Roo!
