Today was match day when all new doctors in the US of A find out where they are going for their residency. You rank the programs that you interview at, and they do the same. Then, a computer pairs you up. I got my first choice and Noel is ecstatic
Move in June, start in July.

grats man!!!

Resident Evil, isn't that a game? Congrads Mike!

Wow! Congrats! I wish it was Seattle Washington though.

Congrats!

Congrats Doctor! We'll have to celebrate at the WCR!!! Was it the ER?

First choice! You must be livin' right.

Sweet! Congrats, Mike!

About darned time something went right.

Ditch the computers AND the Suby.

Best of luck in yer new Presidency,

Errrr, I mean Residency....

Congratulations Mike ! Hope they have a proper lift...

What specialty is your residency? If you need an easy rotation later, I can provide. I have a rule with residents and students- you show up more than 3 hours per week, you fail!!!! Needless to say, I get a lot of students and residents at my office (FP).

congratulations

Congrats Mike!

I was born at McGee in Pittsburgh & grew up until 10 years old, just down the road (22) there on Ft. Couch Rd., Upper St. Clair Twp. (Bridgeville PO).

Which hospital is that out there in Washington PA? ... & what will your specialty be?
... I can't recall cuz we moved to San Diego in 1963 - & I'm an old fart with half-zymers!

Cool....congrats !!

Even though I was REALLY excited when I read Washington... and then I noticed PA .

Congrats Mike. Good things come to those that work for it

Excellent! Congrats doctor Evil . Hopefully you can keep the flatulance to a minimum at work

i am holding back the tears

you will be missed, can we be pen pals?

Comgratulations! we'll have to plan for this

I've been in another world lately, i recieved your text message and i thougth your #1 pic in the NCAA tournament won. Dolt!

Yea!... your slightly closer to me... know anything about TR6 gear boxes Doc

Good fortune smiles. You deserve it!

TERRIFIC! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's obvious the selection committee doesn't know about The World .........

Congratulations, Doc! I'm sure you're gonna wow 'em there and continue to do well.

The Cap'n

Congratulations.
So how big of a garage will you be getting?
That really is more important than how nice the house is.

Yes, I agree with Davep about the garage and Congratulations to you, again!!!

Hey Dave - this is the Pittsburgh PA area in the Western Allegheny Mtns. - so whether he's at the top or bottom of the hill is just as important as the garage size ~ Eh!?

..... especially with winters like this one where, talking to my aunt last night, she said they've had 45"+ snow in the last month or so, & that on many steep streets still paved with either bricks or pot holes!!!! .... time to get used to the poor sibling western end of the state Mike!

Mike - our old next door neighbors - the Quiggs - lived in a converted 3+ story barn with the entire 50+x100+ lower level open as a their garage/basement & accessibly the entire length across the back long side.......and it's on the flats at the top of the hill on Ft. Couch Rd.!! Last time I was back at the old homestead in 01 it was still there, so maybe they'll rent it to you!? ... will that be big enough!?

Now practice Mike: Go Steelers! ..... Go Bucs! ..... Go Penguins!

Congrats!

Gonna take up golf now?

Damn...248 miles and 3:52 away...

I guess we will see you at Matt's.....

oh yea, way to go and good luck! Kill 'em..not literally....

that is wicked awesome

Way to go Doc. This is great news.

I am glad the "Great Dr. Evil" got his first choice and now he can weave his "Evil Web" curing patients at the highest level. It has been a long journey for you and now you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Congratulations and Best Wishes!! The Residency Period is a piece of cake for what you have been through and I know you will be the Best of the Best. Keep the faith and life will reward you in all your and your wife's ebdeavors.

Again, Congratulations!! The journey has only begun.

2010.84 miles away still... Whew!

Congrats!!!

Congrats sir!

Congrats! You deserve it; you've worked hard to get there and have still found time to help a lot of people along the way.

Nice to hear some good news for once. Hope it works out well for you.
Steve

Our little boy is all growed up! He's all growed up!



Grats man! you earned it.

Zach

Good work!

good things happen to good people! Congrats!

With a 914? Who cares? Years ago when I drove the 914 year round I might be the only car on the road during a blizzard. Drop it into first, and chug up a good hill keeping a sharp eye out on all the slip-sliding chicanes I would pass on the way up. Now if you are talking a Saturn Vue, well maybe they would be a chicane, eh? Besides, the Allegheny's are really just oversize molehills aren't they?

Way to go Doc! Good luck at your new place. Hard work if finally paying off. Here's hoping success continues your way.
Tom

Congrats on the match!

Congrats Doc.

They say that good things come to Evil people......don't quote me on that because I usually get things wrong.

Good for you Mike! The Washington area has grown quite a bit in the last 15 years. I go through there 4 times a year to visit relatives in Cincy and have seen it grow.

Not that you need it, but best of luck going forward.
Pat

Dave - you've obviously never tackled the Pittsburgh streets after a heavy snow, sleet or ice storm!

Many/most of the streets are extremely steep, often in a "U" valley form if your lucky - but mostly a steeper "V" - and most of the cars end up slid down to the bottom of the hill & stay there until it thaws! Ergo, you want to be at the top of the hill to get to work - or in Mike's case, his 24 hour shift!

Fantastic! Glad you got the gig you were looking for!

Calling doctor Larry,doctor mo,doctor curly,,,,,,very cool man peace.

Great news Mike. Glad the match went well.

congrats and good luck..

You must learn to say ...."little Washington " ...Real pittsburghers do.
