Happy Labor Day weekend to our faithful blog readers. We are excited about getting to spend a couple of days at home all together with the family since my schedule has become much more palatable since starting my new rotation in toxicology.

Sorry about the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks. Even though trauma surgery is done and the schedule in emergency medicine for the last three weeks has been better it has still been a lot of hours away from home. Melissa and the kids returned safely from their trip to Nebraska along [...]
