Yesterday, Christina and I attended the Annual Westchester Medical Society dinner in Harrison, New York. The dinner brought together hundreds of physicians and friends of physicians from across the county. Among the attendees were prominent physicians and past presidents and leaders of the Medical Society, and "friends of physicians," including defense lawyers, drug reps, medical device companies, and Congresswoman Nan Hayworth (see picture below!), who is a former physician and Scientista herself! We also had the pleasure of meeting some of this year's high school Westchester Science and Engineering Fair (WESEF) winners! All of the high school students presented their poster board sessions and were awarded a certificate and scholarship prize by the Medical Society during the dinner. Christina and I had the pleasure of meeting two brilliant and impressive Scientettes, Maria Mavrommatis and Colson Campbell, of Yorktown High School, who presented their impressive research on "The Relationship between Pregnancy/Postpartum and Subarachnoid Hemmorrhaging." They were awarded along with their equally impressive future male doctor peers, Jurgen Bushi from Yorktown High School and Mark Alexander of Mamaroneck High School.
