All of the third year pediatrics residents have to do one major presentation, a talk about an interesting case that we’ve seen, including a discussion of the literature that’s relevant both to how the child presented and the disease the child ended up having. Mine is tomorrow, at 8:00 AM. Wish me luck!
Good Luck! Bonne Chance! Give ‘em hell. What case are you presenting?

It was great, because I essentially got to do two presentations, one on syncope and the other on lymphoma.
And as for the boy, he’s doing great. They took out the mass, and found no other evidence of lymphoma. He’ll undergo about three months of chemotherapy, and has an excellent prognosis (in the 80-90% range).
