I can finally make this public knowledge! I'm so excited!
My dad, aka PolarDoc, is going to Antarctica for 6 months come early September! He's gone to great lengths to become a physician at McMurdo, one of the research stations down there, and I couldn't be happier for him. From taking ATLS and ACLS to filling out pages and pages of forms, he's done a lot for this.
I sort of prodded him to start a blog, too. I want to be able to see what he's up to, and I know that as large as the med-blog community is, you all might want to read as well! Please go visit and leave him a comment or two? Tell him Sam sent you! ;)
Congrats, Daddy. You're going to have the experience of a lifetime, and I'm going to be the girl whose Dad is busy being super-awesome in the South Pole.
At least we still get to go to the USC v. UVA game before he leaves! Go Trojans!
Take care out there,
Sam
p.s.--Don't forget about the Blog-oversary Contest! And yes, this p.s. will be at the end of every entry until the day it's over!

About Me

She volunteers her time as an EMT in a rural town, and works part time as a lab tech at her local emergency room. If she isn't in class or studying in her apartment, you can find her at the rescue squad or emergency room getting more fodder for the aforementioned. She is very interested in feedback, and asks that you be kind enough to leave a comment if you have the time. You can contact her via email (whygomad@yahoo.com) or Instant Message (OnTheClockBlog)

Done:) I can't wait to read all about his time in the big freeze!
You are so lucky Sam to have the coolest Dad.
there is a joke in there some how but not intended
Your dad rocks.
And I can't tell you how thankful I am for that innocent little prod you gave me in the direction of the "Twilight" series! They're fantastic books!
