Go North Young Man

Ok, that isn't exactly what Horace Greeley said.  But in this case, we took I-65 north to Indiana.  I really liked Indiana.  It oddly felt like northern Alabama: small farms, little white Baptist churches and a little bit redneck.  But it was a whole lot colder.  It was 30 degrees with a 30 mph wind (at least). Blowing right off of the (really big) Ohio River. Brr!

The trip would have been better if Tdawg had not been sick.  But between the internet and Gar-gar-binks (our new Garmin), we found a walk-in clinic and got him some meds.  Mr.Mucinex and Mrs. Nyquil just were not doing the job. Of course, after he got to feeling better, I got sick.

I was favorably impressed with Hanover.  They had a cadaver lab and two animatronic patients.  Those are dummy patients that can be programmed with a variety of symptoms: breathe, cough, vomit, sneeze, drool, have a heart attack and die!  The professor can make the patient talk, so it really simulates a real patient experience.  That is really cool for an undergrad program!

Really liked the coaching staff as well.  Although it was a 700 mile (plus) roundtrip, I really liked Hanover.  It is not that far from Louisville, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio and Indianapolis, Indiana.  So, there are things to do...even though Hanover is quite small.
