5. Lived in NOLA, for one year in the 80s.

Most distinctive American city I've ever been in. I'd swear it has a spirit of its own.

6. NOLA one year (1994) to finish a residency atTulane Medical Center

(also rotated at Charity). I'm grief stricken by all of this.

10. Lived in New Orleans for 11 years

I went away to college at Tulane, went to grad school there, and began my career there. I am 33 and have never lived anywhere longer than the 11 years I lived in New Orleans. I know my best friends left and are fine, and I am confident all my acquiantances and colleagues are fine. My heart breaks for the city and the region, which I fear will never be the same.
