• Scrubbed in on kidney transplants, liver transplants, living donor operations, and organ procurements
• Rounded on a kidney transplant service 13 years to the day after receiving one myself 
• Got in way over my head in the OR 
• Told a patient that the lump in their neck was probably cancerous 
• Plowed through a 1,000 page pediatric hepatology textbook 
• Lived in New York for the first time and realized why it's one of a kind (in a good way!)
• Worked with people from 10 different countries
