| Issue No. 21: November 2018 | | Reunited in the Windy City | On November 8, the Medical Alumni Association hosted an alumni get-together at Davanti Enoteca in the Illinois Medical District. We had a fantastic turnout thanks to MAA Board members, Jeff Schaider ’83, ’85 MD, and Javier Guevara, Jr., ’12 MD, who helped us to get the word out on this event!
It was so much fun meeting new friends and reconnecting with alumni in the Chicago area. Thank you to everyone who joined us! | The M'Cats had a strong showing at Ryan Field on November 3 for our Medical Alumni Tailgate and Game. Alumni descended on the stadium to meet up with friends and watch Northwestern take on Notre Dame.
Unfortunately, the Wildcats didn't take home a win that day, but we had lots of fun cheering them on from the Randy Walker Terrace. Let’s go ‘Cats! | On November 4, Feinberg hosted a get-together for alumni and friends of the medical school in Austin, Texas, for those who were in attendance at the Association of American Medical Colleges Conference.
We’re pleased to share our favorite photo from the event featuring (pictured right to left) Diane Wayne '88, '91 MD, John Cluley, MD, ’12 GMER, and Dr. Cluley’s adorable little wildcat, Cannon (who is proudly sporting Northwestern purple). Welcome to the Feinberg family, Cannon!
| Joseph A. Adashek, MD, FACOG, '93 GMER, became president of the Clark County Medical Society in July 2017, which includes all of Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada. On behalf of the doctors of Clark County, he accepted numerous awards over the past year for the treatment of those injured during the deadliest mass shooting in United States history, which took place in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. In a 10-minute span, there were more than 400 patients with gunshot wounds, and every patient presented to the emergency room alive survived. Physicians throughout the city presented to the emergency rooms to assist in the care. We would like to recognize Dr. Adashek and all the doctors and staff of the Clark County Medical Society for their remarkable strength, resilience, and dedication to their patients.
