Medical School: Mercer University
I have a little bit of everywhere including Detroit, Chicago, and Missouri, but Atlanta is my home. I attended the University of Wyoming and received degrees in medical microbiology and animal science. Go Wyo!
I have about 100 hobbies including camping, scuba, gardening, theater, hunting, salt-water fishing, eating out, and punk music. My wonderful wife is going to graduate school at TAMU-CC for fisheries / mariculture.
I like that the residency here is virtually unopposed and so we don't have to fight for procedures. In addition, we see a good deal of envenomation and a myriad of other illness. I think of Corpus as a big small town. There is always a festival or concert going on, but you don't have to deal with traffic. I was happy to find out that living next to the beach is much cheaper here than on the east coast. I like the great amount of salt-water sports we enjoy here.
I love the program because of the knowledgeable and friendly attendings that are not just in the ED, but also off-service. I also like the Pathology of our patient population. In just my first year I have already treated malaria, murine typhus, and two coral snake envenomations.
