Back from the Big Island

AHH- i write to you all today significantly more tanned than last week (well Okay- significantly for a pasty white guy). Leslie, Yoshi (11) and Kai (8) and I took advantage of a one week teaching boondoggle to go stay at the Hapuna Prince Hotel on Hapuna Beach- this place is beautiful and every time we left to go have an adventure off the resort- we wondered why we left. Lovely place, incredible beach (Conde Naste best beach for 5 straight years)- just too good to be true. There are few perks for being in academics as an educator but this is definately one of them!!! Although I felt like quite a pretender for doing a talk entitled "Updates in Women's Health"... perfect for a VA doc.

Thanks Suri for posting the end of the year pictures from the party- you take great people photos- an alternate career if you ever need one. I also wanted to make sure that you look up Joe Ix, who is a renal attending and outcomes researcher extrordanaire down at UCSD (Joe, Suri is going to be a first year GI fellow- right now!).

Heard from Rob Morlend at Emory today who asked if it was OK to use the Evan's EKG packet to teach the new interns- please know that anything you have gotten here is fine to use elsewhere- no bigger compliment for an educator than to have something disseminated!!

Also heard from Paul Kleinschmidt who is canoeing in Minnesota right now- and is Engaged!

Jimmee Hwang's very cool MMR report was picked up by Reuters- how cool is that? check out the link she sent me. http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE52B7XQ20090312?feedType=RSS&feedName=healthNews&rpc=22&sp=true

Next week i will put down the list of the new prime residents- so you can see who they are.

see you all soon- Jeff
