Having jumped through my last exam hoops for the time being, I’m finished my residency and saying sayonara to New Brunswick. I’m moving to a small town just north of Toronto where I’ll be working Emergency. I get the added bonus of being able to have all sorts of useless letters after my name. Sooey!
