| | Every July 4th, my heart grows heavy. While America celebrates it's independence, I'm always reminded of my dear friend William who passed away on July 4th, 1997. Please refer to my prior blog post http://http://hubertdkim.xanga.com/602125222/bittersweet-july-4th/. William's memory is still clear in my mind, and his life will always serve as an example to me.
On another note, I've just started my last year in residency. In surgery residency, the last year is referred as the "chief year" because you are the highest level resident on each service. With each year of training, surgery has become more enjoyable. I am exposed to more challenging and difficult operations, and now help younger residents through the more basic operations. I am currently working at the VA Hospital located in Long Beach. It's kind of sad caring for our veterans. Many have sacrificed much for our country, but now, are left without families, with mental health problems, and without much of a support system.
Anyways, I have to go.... I'm going to try to revive this blog... this blog needs some serious CPR.
