"Let me explain the picture of me & finks. We were rounding and he got up to excuse himself, but at the last minute he sat down in my lap and posed for the picture. As you can tell, I was unaware of what was happening!%$!@

The Gosmanov family vacation
I and Elvira wanted to share with everyone couple of our vacation pictures.
Two weeks ago we just got back from two-week vacation to our home city Kazan, Russia. On our way back, we stopped by Moscow for one day for sightseeing where we did some "shooting". On the first picture, I, Elvira, and our daughter Kamilya are on the famous Red Square. Second picture shows 2/3 of us in front of historical Russian display called Tsar-Pushka, a Guinness Book record (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Pushka

July Newsletter
As always, July is a busy month for us- new interns, new residents and hot weather in Memphis. Congratulations to Jim L., who was the first intern to show up for the first day work on Med Wards- at 5am! He was awarded with the big hand-off of hemacult cards and developer from the outgoing Med Nightfloat interns who were anxious to get to vacationing. I have never seen happier faces then those two NF interns.
Hopefully, things have gone smoothly for all the new interns and they, as well as their families, pets, etc... are adapting well to residency life.
Our first social event of the year was a Fourth of July cookout at my house hosted by Katherine, John, David and me. The rain did not keep us down- about 35 people came, including lots of young ones (see pics). There was great food, especially yummy ginger/peach pie, homemade curries and kiel and of course, hotdogs and hamburgers. We missed using the Gish's home-raised beef for the burgers this year, but maybe they will make it next year!
Also of special note this month- LEANN and GARY are engaged! Congrats to the happy couple who is planning on a summer wedding 2007.
Congratulations to Frances who adopted her first puppy, Rio. You might remember the puppy that Megan found two weeks ago who needed a home- well, I'm sure that Frances is spoiling her as we speak, because she is a sweet and precious dog. She even got to stay with Aunt Anna to play with Harry Hicks for a few days (see pic).
This morning, a few residents and friends participated in the Design-A-Wish 5K. Erin and her husband Grant, Vida, Wael and I were present to run and have some fun. Our times weren't the fastest- the winners ran it in 18 min (compared to my slow trot at 31:30), but we did a good job finishing, which was our goal. Vida even won a door prize. See pics attached. Hopefully, we will be able to continue this tradition of running and staying fit- I plan to run the Chick-fil-A 5K Sept. 4th (and if you are worried about running, not running fast enough, etc... you can always walk or just come out to support your co-workers).
I also have gotten the chance to visit and work at Clinica Esperanza the past two Saturdays. What a great thing the med students have set up! M1,2,3, and 4's come to see the patients at this clinic every Saturday morning- they also serve as translators. The residents help get the patients checked out with the UT attending who is there. The clinic is located on Broad St. at Christ Comminuty and residents are needed for only a few hours Saturday mornings. Call Ms. Betty Court for more info if you are interested. We all should make an effort to go and support the med students at least once.
The most interesting case of the month goes to a patient from a consult service who attempted to commit suicide by injecting 800 (eight hundred) units of regular insulin subcutaneously- and then he drove around town waiting for it to kick in. What I am most impressed about is that he did not end up ON the Medicine team.
As for upcoming events in August- we are putting together a Friday night at the Redbirds- more info to follow- we're hoping for Aug. 25th- families welcome. And, John T. and I have put together a residency polo shirt- the latest in the stylish line of clothing which started with the now famous fleece vest. We'll get order forms and samples out later this month. It will be $20 and is a white shirt with orange embroidery on the L chest.
Let me know if you have any other news!
