Return to the blog

After a long time away, I think that I should contribute something to the blog and finally feel like I have a minute to dot it. I've been working for a month in Pediatric Gastroenterology. Most of my days were spent giving advice on constipation and stomach pain but I also saw some diseases that I wouldn't see anywhere else. I'm switching over to the emergency department and looking forward to a change of pace. I have some suturing practice to do before the first shift in a few days. Here are a few pictures of Quinn and I camping out with some friends in the ward a few weeks ago.
The park was in the middle of a beautiful green (and wet) forest.


The clouds were thick as we got there and there were a few deer in the field behind Quinn (they were camera-shy).
Part of the park was a zoo with native Minnesotan animals. The river otters were the most entertaining and the most interested in us. They swam back and forth in their tank and down the waterfall to a pool with rocks and logs. I'd have to say the bobcat was interested but mostly in Quinn. It would hide behind the rocks in its enclosure and then run and pounce onto the fence before running back to prepare for another attack. And, if anyone out there is really curious about nature, we have a good story about porcupines.
