I'm here where are you guys?

[Triangulation]

Wow!! This APhA business is pretty outrageous no?!?!?! Any of you other guys here? Thoughts, feelings? The bag you get is cool, and I'm already thinking about snaking the cool giant stickpads at the messaging center. Tell me what you guys are thinking about stealing

Are you getting internet access from your hotel room? No Seattle for me this year...I'll be at ASHP next fall. If you can snag a free copy of the "Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy", snag one for me too ...just kidding. Free pens and post-its are alright, but free reference books are the best **** around!

It's like eating at a buffet...go for the most expensive looking items first...your bag can only fit so much freebies.

Looking forward to my residency-paid trip to the giant freebie buffet next year. Ditto on the references-Sanford is probably the best thing in my lab coat next to a Zosyn pen.

Hey Narcan! Where are you headed for residency? I don't know if you told us yet, just curious

BTW, the Sanford is a great portable reference, but the typeface is so small the darn thing should come with a magnifying glass!

Got into my first choice, VAMC in Minneapolis. Out of the 7 positions I interviewed for, they were the most interested in me during the interview. Everyone was pretty laid back-I could see myself working there. It is a different kind of residency-almost a hybrid. For 3-4 months I rotate through ICU, cardio, and an elective, plus management like a 'regular' hospital residency, and for the rest I do ambulatory care. Just enough variety to keep me from getting bored. Did you go for a residency, too?

I'm sure at least one of the drug companies is giving away a magnifying glass with a logo on it. I mean, one can only put out so many nail files, flashlights, stress balls, etc. They've got to get around to mag glasses eventually...(I'm still waiting to get a Viagra clock...)

No residency yet, I've got one more year. In fact next week I'm going to be selecting my rotations. Good luck with the residency, I'm glad you got your first choice!
