Change is Coming and Kidney School
May 1st could not come any faster. I am going on leave for thirty days and its going to be great. Chicago, family, relaxation, not having to deal with the every day issues of NNMC Bethesda is going to be a well needed and deserve break. It will be my first real vacation in over two years and I cannot wait.
But unfortunately all of that will be short lived as on May 30th I am reporting to Naval School of Health Sciences in Portsmouth VA for Hemodialysis Tech School.
I have been keeping myself busy reading up on Kidneys. I am really looking forward to getting through this school and moving on to my next duty station so that I will be able to finish up my college and move on with my medical career. :)

“An absolute bare minimum of interactivity”
I mentioned Atari’s Pong recently, a game often considered to be the first videogame ever. It wasn’t, and as a matter of fact, it was a clone of one of the games from the first home console Magnavox Odyssey, released earlier in 1972: This is a 34-minute vi...

FDR has always been one of my favorite presidents, second maybe to Lincoln. Both were men the establishment assumed were one of them until, to their horror, they governed like they weren't. Both could trash the opposition in one breath and take the moral h...
