As I await the dawn of my professional career, just weeks away from medical school graduation, I pause to reflect upon the long and arduous process that has led up to this point in time.

Thus rehabilitated it will have been deemed safe to release them.

Dear Editor,

Congratulations on your piece on Ritalin. You and the Medical Sentinel have done a good public service.
