DDW 2009

"The worlds largest gathering physicians and researchers in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy, and gastrointestinal surgery," is currently being held at McCormick Center in Chicago. I was "lucky" enough to score a poster presentation at the event. I wasnt really that excited about it until I was there today. It was pretty amazing being a part of such a huge event. My medical school friend Shawn, who is now at University of Wisconsin-Madison, surprised me by deciding to drive in at the last minute. We spent the day bouncing in and out of lectures that interested us. There were a huge number of biotech and pharmaceutical companies with exhibits too, so I enjoyed chatting with them and getting a free pen here or there!!

I'm looking forward to going back tomorrow!
