Has anyone ever heard of an 11 year surgical residency?
Holy crap.
Not to mention that it appears she went to school for 13 years before that 11 year residency... 24 years of college + med school/residency = wow. Assuming 12 years of education before college, that's 36 years of education (+loans!). PGY-6 intern FTW!
