Experiences
What happens when you take a country girl, currently living in the suburbs (which has enough people, as far as she’s concerned), and transplant her into a major city for a scientific convention with 80 of her coworkers and 18,000 of her closest friends?
Panic.
One single word, pure and beautiful in its simplicity.
Of course there’s also confusion, disorientation, and exhaustion.
It’s known as DDW (Digestive Disease Week) and it is the largest (as far as this lowly DDW employee knows) convention for gastroenterologists and hepatologists. Also of note is that it is being held in San Diego this year.
Basically, I’ll get to wave at the Zoo as I ride the trolley on my way to work…
