I survived DDW, somehow. The main news to report is that doctors (although exceedingly bright) have zero common sense whatsoever. The top four questions asked of DDW staff during the week are:

4. Can you tell me how to use this phone card? (do I look like I work for Sprint?)

3. (Asked indoors, in front of a very large set of windows) What’s todays weather? Rainy or cloudy?

2. Have you seen my rubber glove?

And lastly, the number one question is…

1. (Asked inside the San Diego convention center) Where is the convention center?

I swear, sometimes I wonder how these people got their pants on in the morning, never mind how they managed to get a license to practice medicine! On a side note, there was a bit of interesting news while we were in San Diego: under-construction hotel explodes. If you look at the Google Map they provide, you can see how close the convention center is to the explosion. It was a pretty crazy afternoon as everyone tried to figure out what had happened while keeping all of the attendees calm and indoors.

Otherwise, I finally got to take a couple days off from work (mostly because I was pretty sure my brain was starting to ooze from my ears). And they have been two very pleasantly relaxing days at the end of a very pleasant weekend. Ain’t nothing wrong with that!
