It's 2:14 AM, and my train leaves Chicago Union Station in about 5 1/4 hours. I am headed to the town of Quincy, IL, which apparently is "like a Chicago suburb, but on it's own with no big city nearby. Just cornfields. And soybeans. No, can't forget the soybeans." Indeed.
I will be in Quincy for four weeks to do a rural medicine externship, sponsored by the Illinois Academy of Family Practitioners, but more about that later. For now, I just wanted to get this blog started. And take a break from packing.
Items packed thus far:
1 White Coat
1 Stethoscope
1 hardcover copy of Bate's Physical Exam Skills
4 boxes of delicious Frango mints to bribe my way into people's hearts
I hope to update this frequently while I am in Quincy -- please comment! Or e-mail me. I'd love to know which friends are actually bored enough at work to read this and am happy to tailor my posts to what you people want to hear about.
