SIU was one of two places I did not rank for IM
#PD was strange his son was the APD
#Hospitals were contracting- (IM program got kicked out of one hosptial, The other hospital had to close 2 floors due to lack of patients the year before i interviewed)
#Interview day was a fiasco- I could expand if someone was interested
#Faculty did not know anything about me on the interview day
#Springfield was the by far worst place I interviewed ( I interviewed in Shreveport LA, Detroit MI, Neptune NJ, Allentown PA, Harlem NY)
#They fired two residents the year before I interviewed and the PD said something along the lines of-this year will be good we cut loose the slackers last year and have control over things now
#SIU blacklisted by NIH for research funding because one of the faculty experimented on people in the local holiday inn bathroom with homebrew herpes vaccines and then poisoned a carribean island or something link
