Bryan graduated Friday evening! We had dinner at La Pietra Cucina with the other fellow, Cedric and his family, and most of the physicians from Georgia Colon and Rectal. After the dinner, which was incredible, the fellow opened their gifts (framed certificates).
This may be Bryan's last graduation for awhile!
Erron, Dr. Ambrous, Cedric, Dr. Schertzer, Bryan, and Dr. Orangio
Cedric and Bryan... victory at last!
As was tradition with the group, the fellows presented each physician with a "gag gift" that poked fun of their individual quirks! Here, Cedric is leading into a gift presentation... You can see his "mini-me" son, Caleb, off to the left of the picture.
The guys had a lot of fun, and spent some time planning each gift!
Dr. Schertzer, her husband, and Dr. Ambrous listening to the description behind Dr. Ambrous's gift...
A "time out" chair to sit down and cool off before losing his temper in the OR! Ha ha!
He did restrain from throwing any phones this year...
Dr. Orangio, who went through a divorce and a late mid-life crisis this year, was given his very own box of tatoos and an earring! 
Dr. Armstrong had to leave to see a patient, but he was given a "Dummies Guide to Patents and Trademarks" to keep tabs on his many inventions.
And Dr. Schertzer, the lone female, received a toy tool kit for her mountain home that was constantly in need of repairs. The guys joked that they had trouble coming up with just one thing with Dr. Schertzer!
It was fun spending time with the group in a casual setting, and a nice ending to our year in Atlanta.
Bryan, we are all so proud of your accomplishments! Congratulations on completing your colorectal surgery fellowship with glowing recommendations!
