PAGING DR. CARN

Here is a picture on Brad's first day of Dental School almost four years ago. So naive. And man are those scrubs bright! I've washed those about 500 times since and they are not so crisp anymore.


 And here he is today, an official doctor. Although we like to joke that he's not a "real" doctor I'm seriously crazy proud of him. I witnessed all the hard work. And let me tell you - it was HARD WORK. Long nights, insane patients, difficult professors, even more difficult exams... dental school is not for the faint of heart.



When a fourth year student is officially signed off by the appropriate faculty having completed his requirements for graduation all the departments page the student's name with "doctor" over the loud speaker. Sometimes they say humorous things just for funsies. FYI - Fast Eddie's is a local bar and they know Brad doesn't drink.

Stop watching/listening after 1:30... I was too lazy to edit it down.



And now here he is on the brink of starting another six years of crazy. After which he will be a "real" doctor. FINALLY. Just kidding. I didn't just pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to live in Alton, IL for four years for Brad not to be a doctor.
