I am fortunate to have wonderful residency friends, Wai Kiu and Hanh, who live in Oakland. Last week, I got to hang out with them in the evenings when I attended a colposcopy conference in San Francisco and saved close to $1000 by not staying at the Mark Hopkins InterContinental (site of the conference). The conference was excellent, with tons of updates on pap screening guidelines, and follow-up for "abnormals," as well as the technique of colpo and treatment for dysplasia. While the 7 a.m. start time in SF was a bit early (between the time to the Oakland BART to park, then metro ride in, then walk up to Nob Hill, it took about an hour to get there, so it made for early wake-ups), but I learned a ton and it was well worth it. I also got to reconnect with Charmian, one of my fellow OB residency grads, who I didn't know would be attending.
While I didn't really take any pics during my time there, I did steal these from Wai Kiu.

While I delivered Mason during a lucky call night in 2009, a Kaiser physician was lucky to deliver this little cutie, Sophia, who just turned 5 months old.
Thank you, Wai Kiu and Hanh, for hosting me yet again (and for all the pics!) See you soon!
