2nd Annual VRHA Chili Cook-off

Just as a matter of continuity, since I posted about the first cook off last year. (Sorry no pictures this year...)

Amazing turn out of cooks and eaters

Tried a lot of good chills. Of note, Natalie Hogans BBQ chili, and Kate Graeme's vegan chili. But the one that took my vote this year was the beef and beer chili that Caitlyn de Kanter made for SAMOPS - delicious!

They Made a Way To Measure My Problems

This one time in med school

We had a clinical medicine lecture on facial lacerations. And then the next day I was lacerated by a softball. 11 stitches. Three dissolving subcutaneous and eight 6.0 simple interrupted.

Grateful to my support team/compadres who stayed with me the whole time (and wished they were doing the stitches themselves): Nikki and Danny.

Before and after for the record and your viewing pleasure.

Danger!

Apparently medical school is a known disease pattern with close correlation to fatal familial insomnia - hope the outcomes go better

In da club

First time doing pre-game coverage with the Virginia Tech sports-med docs. Feeling a gaping hole in my skills where cervical HVLA belongs. Cannotlearnsomethingsfastenough
