David, Dr. Flemming (his new boss) and Chip Oester (the fellow that is now in Nashville)
For those of you that don't know, David finished his residency last Friday night!! Yeah David. Then 3 hours later began his fellowship! We had a nice dinner in between the two events, but he didn't get the weekend break he thought he would get! Poor thing.
He started his fellowship at 11:30 pm June 25th!
This means he is the only Ophthalmic Plastics and Reconstructive fellow at UT, which sounds fun until you discover he will be on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the next 365! Then we get 2 days to move to Nashville and it starts all over 24/7!! That's right, little David can't leave! No hunting, no football games, no weddings, no going to Jackson, NOTHING! So if you want to see David, come on to Memphis, he will be here!!
I was just so proud of David and so nervous for this huge next chapter to begin! I know he will do great but he has huge new responsibilities resting on him now! Plus who wants to be stuck in one place for a whole year! Maybe we will get crazy and go to Southaven for dinner one night!
Yes, i cried a bit...........It was sad to see all our friends leaving, it doesn't seem possible for it to have been 4 years! The residency director called him "their shining star in his field" I couldn't help but be so proud of all he has done!
Good luck David, I love you and are so thankful you are willing to work so hard to do what you love!
