I spent the last day of my medicine clerkship at the Buncke Clinic in San Francisco: home of the late Harry Buncke, the father of microsurgery and the first to reconstruct a thumb by transferring a big toe to a patient's hand. The clinic is now run by his son Greg Buncke who kindly allowed me to tag along for the day and meet his team.
The next day I threw my things into a bag and jumped the red eye flight back to boston. After a bus ride (ie long nap) I arrive in Hanover, retrieved my car which -thankfully- started, and headed to my new address:
27 old etna rd.
Lebanon, NH 03766
The past 10 days have been spent moving in, finishing Medicine, beginning Surgery at the local VA hospital, and generally not sleeping much. Two days ago I finished my second call shift at the Dartmouth ER, which means about 36 straight sleepless hours when it's a busy night (it was). After passing out at 8pm I awoke, drove to Rhode Island, and am now on an island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean typing in a cafe to 80's music.
