Hometown: Brooklyn, NY Undergraduate School: CUNY Hunter College Medical School: SUNY Downstate College of Medicine Hobbies/ Interests: Reading history, discussing politics and science, enjoying the golden age of television, and going out with my awesome co-residents Why Stony Brook? There a lot of things that make Stony Brook a great place to work: It’s a growing academic center, with a brand new research and hospital building sprouting up (and almost ready); we’re attached to a huge university with amazing facilities and labs; we’re a Level 1 Trauma Center with just about every specialty and procedure under the sun. These mundane facts, however, cannot speak to the reality of being on a bridge 15 stories up, with the Ocean on the one side, and the rest of Long Island on the other, with us being the only building to sprout up past the trees as far as the eye could see, only to glance down and see a helicopter landing onto our dedicated heli-pad to deliver another patient to our ED, which itself is a marvel of a man-made ant-colony of inter-connected rooms dedicated for every possible level of illness severity. Yet a place is only as good as its people, and the people are great. In Dr. Lane, we have an amazing Program Director who is with us through thick and through thin, we have an great group of Chiefs who have worked hard to make this a good program (and who cushion any shift change with the gift of candy), and truly spectacular co-residents who are there for one-another on-and-off the clock. Also, there’s free lunch on Wednesdays. |
