We took a tour of Mt. Sinai today, our new clinical home for the next 5 weeks. I read in the paper a few weeks ago that local residents call it Mt. Die-nai, but I think that has more to do with the violent nature of many of the injuries treated there, and not the quality of care patients receive. I was told gunshot and stab wounds are quite common.

Other clinical groups have had rotations at Sinai, and they say that the nurses there are wonderful, and very excited to teach students. From what I could tell, it had a good vibe; I think we're going to get a good experience.
