Friends

I was involved in a food-borne outbreak investigation last week. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong side of this investigation. Four of us in the epidemiology division became ill within 6 hours of each other last week. I was well cared for during my misery. Two non-ill epidemiologists came to my apartment to check on me that first day. They insisted on finding lunch. When they couldn't find an open restaurant (it was 10 AM), they went to a supermarket, bought the ingredients, and made soup for me in my apartment. I felt a little less miserable lying in my bed listening to my friends cook for me. This is just one more example of how far everyone here has gone to make sure I have a wonderful experience.
