I just discovered your blog and i think your my BFF..lol…Im a mom and an L.V.T.and live in nyc. I go down to san antonio tx at least once a year as my in laws live there (we might actually be moving out to houston in about a year). I just recently left one of those big corporate hospitals, I finally had the guts to just get out of there. I have worked in emergency medicine for about 5 years now, while i love it I think I’m ready (and my family) for something wth more normal hours and a decent schedule,
. Anyway, Im so glad i discovered your blog…you have got yourself another devoted reader…..keep it up!
