My next course was for two weeks; it was on lung diseases. This one was in Ottawa, and since I was up for training in pension for a week, I had a room at the Holiday Inn for $65.00 a night, followed by a week of meetings in Hamilton. I asked for the same room I was in the week be- fore when I returned to the Holiday Inn. To my surprise, the same room only cost me $24.00 a day for the two weeks. This was important to me, as I was trying to stretch my scholarship to do me the two weeks.

He always covered the cases with great care. I feel I crammed more knowledge into my head in those two weeks than in any other two weeks.
