    I always thought you’d be an ER junkie – you have such a compassionate outlook, and never cease to notice those in your everyday world who are the ER’s “frequent flyers.” It is no surprise to me that this is your new love.

    You wrote a post earlier this year about a fellow who collapsed on your stairwell (in baltimore?) who was drunk or stoned and passed out. So many people walk the other way. You have the background in mental health and the clinical interest – not to mention the compassion and humanity – to stop, think, and respond, not just ignore.

    I say an ER residency will find you given your talents and background. Take the actions necessary and don’t worry about the outcome. You’ve come this far and I wouldn’t be surprised if you found it easy to get a letter of recommendation from someone you’ve trained with.

    Just be aware of the burnout at take care of yourself. The world needs a book about the exploits of Dr. Kendra Campbell, senior ER resident!
    (can I make a pitch that you do it as a sub-specialty of Family Practice? There really arent’ enough Family docs in the USA.)
