#RalphYarl accidentally rang the door of the wrong house while trying to pick up his siblings. For this, a man shot him in the head. Then shot him a 2nd time as he was on the ground. The man is free and the 16-year-old is fighting for his life in the hospital. This can’t be it.
Boston area surgeons and members of the @BostonSurgical Society are thrilled to welcome these inspiring new colleagues. (Our welcome is 2nd in heartiness only to the current group of Boston interns! 😉) We are excited to meet all of you & to one day welcome you as fellow members.
