Tales from Quarantine

As I emerge into the real world after time in quarantine, I thought it might be fun (?) to pick out my 5 favourite moments of the last 10 days.  I was going to attempt 10, but it’s been bearable more than good and I wasn’t sure I would manage it. 1.

It’s safe to say that the arrival of the 90s did not see me dressed in quite the same manner that you do today.  I spoke to Arianne Cornell about this, and she maintains that for the first two years of Med School I wore nothing but tie dye dungarees, baggy jeans and a whole array of cheesecloth dresses.  I deny all knowledge of this, but maybe I’ve just blocked it out.  Once we hit the clinical years we had to make a bit more effort, and I vividly remember going shopping with Ari for our clothes for placement.  Money was no object for...
