title: Life at the epicentre: my first year at North York General Hospital.
abstract: My inaugural year at NYGH neatly bisects, with the two halves marked by decidedly different challenges. The first six months brought its share of difficulties, and with it some tests of will on my part. But it all paled in comparison with what followed, as we coped with the outbreak of SARS.
