Hello from Des Moines

Yes, that's right -- Des Moines. Yesterday I started a four-week rotation here in the Emergency Department of Broadlawns Medical Center. So far it's everything I could have hoped for. Yesterday I saw a large, bearded patient wearing Harley-Davidson paraphernalia who was speaking in tongues. We went on bypass today after receiving three motor vehicle accident victims at the same time. Two of my attending physicians are identical twins. And that's only the first two days: we're just getting started!
