Unfortunately, the lighting inside was rather dim. Since the camera has a fixed aperture, the only way to compensate for dimmer light was longer exposure times. As a result, about half the photos were too dark or blurry to view. With that caveat, enjoy...

Dinner conversation

We were pleasantly surprised to see a number of attendings present that evening. Visible here are Drs. Byrd and LaSalle, with Dr. Joseph just barely visible to the right of Tamara's head

Dr. Schrock telling stand-up comedy. "How is a Montanna divorce like a Florida hurricane? Either way, you lose the trailer."

Quote of the night: Mike, on relating to the support he felt from many of the attendings:

• Mike (at the podium): "...I can't tell you how many times I've had to call Drs. Byrd or Joseph in the middle of the night to talk to them about some patient trying to die."
• Dr. Joseph: (from the back of the room) "I can!"
