July 1, 2011 ... another first of July ... 39th year starts today. Could that be right? Yes that is right. This is the start of my 39th year in medicine. I'll think back on that ... reflect on it a bit with the new folks, before we start rounds today. They will be in a frenzy of fear and excitement.

After rounds that went fairly smoothly, we concluded that I am a PGY39. PGY is an abbreviation for POST GRADUATE YEAR or the year of training after graduation from medical school. So, they are right; I'm a PGY 39.
