"That's not a bald spot, it's a solar panel on a Family Practice Machine"
-Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report May 17, 2006

The Albany Medical Center Residency Program was well represented.  Dr. Forman was unanimously elected to finish out the term of Dr. Alpart as Vice-President for the Albany County Chapter.  Dr Roche and Mason are relieved they weren't tapped for the job.  The three residents were grateful for a free meal.


From L to R: Dr's Sean "Ironman" Roche, Peter "Glutton for Punishment" Forman, Beth Goldman, Timothy DeRenzo , Carol Gardner, Tony "No bad dogs residents" Mason

Dr. Jun David enthralled us with his trip to Mt. Everest.  One can only guess what was going through the minds of Dr's Vellis, VanBellingham, and Aram when Jun told us he was taking Mega Doses of Viagra to prevent Altitude Sickness.  Dr. David will be giving a formal presentation on his trip at
St. Peters Hospital Grand Rounds on Wednesday, June 7'th @ 8:00 A.M.


Dr's Peter "I'll bleach  my sideburns to look like Dr. Piplani" Vellis, Wendy VanBellingham- Schenectady County, Jun David, Jim Aram- Rensaeller County

Dr. Steve Offord-Saratoga County  was able to attend because he makes Bill Pyle take all his call

Dr's Robert Paeglow and Laura Staff  impress two medical students with their lifestyles of little work, and high pay.  The medical students have decided not to try and match in Dermatology.  They loved the congeniality, and the fun the family physicians have.


L- R: Dr's Robert Paeglow, Laura Staff, Sam Agahiu- AMC III, Jean Ferdinand- AMC III

The Winner of the Fruehan Award isn't pictured because he made fun of Dr. Piplani's beeper being under his roll of abdominal fat. 
Actually Jun David hasn't gotten the picture to me yet.
