		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been requested to write a short blog post to keep folks up to date on how my surgery rotation is going. The short answer is&#8230; surprisingly well. It&#8217;s not the most amazing experience I&#8217;ve ever had, and I don&#8217;t love living away from Durham, but the experience as a whole is definitely not as terrible as I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=purplestethoscope.wordpress.com&amp;blog=30435470&amp;post=1088&amp;subd=purplestethoscope&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I mean, as a kid, I was all about the holidays &#8212; I guess most of us are, when we&#8217;re that age.
