Its been quite a while....

since I posted something on the blog. As expected Residency wouldn't allow me the time and sanity to do so. On top of that, I added to my own woes by choosing to do Internal Medicine and Neurology during the intern year. I just finished my first rotation in Neurology which went past smoothly. Prior to that was a week long 'orientation' which was somewhat overwhelming as most of it was about medico-legal and ethical issues, something most of the incoming residents, if given a choice, would want to give a pass ! Though utterly important in the context of medical practice today, honestly, for me, 'How to save my skin ?' and 'How to become a good business man ?' were the last thing on my mind. But, sadly, they are no longer !

We started moving our stuff to Buffalo in the first week of June. However, we still haven't really settled down. We have been back in Brampton on almost all but one weekend since then. Buffalo, however, is a nice town. Particularly the area that we live in called Amherst. Its the 4th safest town in the whole of the US, and has one of the best school districts in the whole country ! There is a lot to explore in and around Buffalo which I hope we will be able to do starting next summer when I move to my own department that is Psychiatry. People we have come across have all been nice so far both at work and in the neighbourhood. Though, Amherst is 95 % white, in our apartment complex and at my work its very multicultural with majority South Asian and Chinese (as you would expect!). This year's approximately 180 incoming residents at the University at Buffalo represent 37 different countries ! Yeah you are right, and there are just as many South Asians as Americans !
