Accepted

I am thrilled to announce that I have been accepted to Oregon Health & Sciences University! I will be starting medical school in August. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. I received the e-mail early this morning and it was a wonderful way to spend my last day in Cape Town. Today I was back in surgery. I observed a complete medial malleolus fracture debridement and vac dressing application. I also observed an above the knee amputation, calcaneous debridement, and scrotal abcess. Tonight Ryan, Molly, and I plan to celebrate the end of our time here in Cape Town and my acceptance! Tomorrow Molly and I head to Durban for a new four week rotation through the program. I will update you all as soon as I have internet access again.
