stories told and songs sung

Life is full of stories and songs. By sharing them, maybe we see a little more clearly how we are all connected.

Name:
Location: Deep South

I grew up in Texas and then went off to college in Tennessee. There I met my future wife in a great story you'll have to hear someday. Med school was back in Texas. We got married during my 2nd year. After med school, it was on to Neurology residency in the Deep South. Now that I'm a full fledged neurologist, I'm just trying to balance it all with a new baby on the way...

Crimson and Clover

This one is a story and song wrapped up into one. I just started a block of three months doing pediatric neurology. In just a few short days I've realized that pediatric medicine is a completely different beast than adult medicine. There are so many differences besides the size of the patients. Anyway, I had a good laugh when I saw that a set of newborn twins had been admitted to the general pediatrics team with the names Crimson and Clover. Their last name is Bean, so for the rest of their lives they will be Crimson Bean and Clover Bean. Why are parents so cruel? Also funny was that none of the medical students understood what was so funny about the names until we all started singing the song. Sheesh we're getting old.
