Re-blog: Summer 2011

> Dear friends and family,
> As most of you know, but some may not, last summer I started a blog to keep you all up to date with what was going on in my life. I had planned on keeping it going whilst I progressed through the first year of my medical education but I was unable to do so for a plethora of reasons. Anywho, after successfully becoming 1/4 a doctor I'm picking the blog up where I left off quite literally. I'm actually writing this email on a plane going from Miami to Panama City, with a final destination if Lima Peru. I am heading down there with a group of other first year medical students and attending physicians from Stony Brook and we will be doing a medical mission of sorts throughout the sacred valley of Peru, pretty much right where my blog ended last summer. We will be visiting remote clinics, towns, and orphanages with the aim of providing medical care to people that may otherwise never receive it. My blog will eventually follow me through 4 continents over the course of 2 months, but without trying to spoil all the surprises feel free to check back periodically as I attempt to update the blog as often as possible. I hope this message finds you all doing well and I look forward to hearing from all of you. Please feel free to pass this along to anyone and everyone you think may be interested. Ciao.

> PS- last summer I told myself when I was down here I had to do everything I could fit in as I thought I might never have the chance to make it back to Peru. Who would've guessed that I'd be heading straight back the very next summer? It just goes to show you how odd/crazy/interesting life can be sometimes!
