Dr. Bethie


My sister-in-law Beth (she's just like a real sister, but if I referred to her as that and to her husband Jon as my brother, it would be strange to people) is a phenomenal doctor. She is doing her fellowship at St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis in hemotology and oncology. She is one of the smartest people you'll ever meet tempered by the fact that she's one of the kindest and most humble people you'll ever meet. Jon clearly married up. Way up.

She was featured in a Memphis magazine as an up-and-coming doctor that talked about why she'd chosen to live in Memphis. Beth and I were over at my Grandma's yesterday and I read the article to my Grandma, adding in a few lines to the effect of, "Dr. Kurt attributes much of her success to her brother-in-law Dave who has been both an inspiration and source of strength in her journey towards healing others." My Grandma didn't buy it.

Very nice Beth… Mayo loves a “high profile”… :)

I think the magazine should really do a follow-up exposay about the man behind the woman. The article would demonstrate how Beth can afford to put in those long hours and really concentrate on her career knowing that Jon is at home on his a** ordering NetFlix and cracking off “funnies” on other peoples blog comments..
