Where Kassel Rhymes with Castle

Every week I send out an update to the medical school, which gets send out as part of WGW (What's Good Wednesday), an email where the associate deans of students compiles the professional and academic accomplishments and life events of the student body in an effort to help keep us connected even though we are spread out across lecture halls, campuses, and hospitals across the state. Usually populated by sporadic submissions of significance, after talking with friends before I left, I decided to twist the format to suit my needs to stay connected to my class. After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner.  On Monday, Kassel Galaty (Med20/21) completed and submitted her first essay, entitled "A Procrustean Mould: The Failed Attempt to Standardise Medical Records in the NHS in 1965." (do note the two British spellings she used in her title. Very fond of extra vowels and resistant to the letter...

After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner.  Salutations from across the pond! Kassel Galaty (Med20 wannabe) stubbornly remains in England. Crunch-time is approaching as her first essay is due next Monday (send eloquent, concise, and historically illuminating vibes her way) so this is mostly what she has been doing: She has so many b...

Kassel Galaty (Med20/21) continues her transatlantic research. As hoped, she was able to actually do London things while in London this time and can confirm that the reports are true--there are things outside of the National Archives. She scored cheap seats to the N...

After the fifth week of consistent submission, my update was given it's own special place and title: Kassel's Corner.  Kassel Galaty (med20forlife) has been in Cambridge for a full month! This last week has been less travel- and activity-filled, and more lecture- and historical-fact-filled. She joined the Downing College rowing team and finally made it out on the water--the boat didn't tip over, no one fell in, ...

This a belated post, but on Oct. 20th, the Hillwalking Club (American trans. hiking ) hosted a trip to Edale in the Peak District.

Cheers! It's subtle, but please try to appreciate the horizontal nature of the wind Posing for the camera
