Donna G Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Thanks. Again you give us an interesting read. In the article it said "at Boston Medical Center" I was curious, being born , raised and educated in Boston. Did a search and found it, looked for directions to see where it was in the South End and low and behold! I graduated from nursing school at Boston City Hospital. It is Boston City Hospital, even the Dowling Building is still there. They must have renamed the place Boston Medical Center and it appears BU must be at least the primary teaching service. When I was there Harvard and Tufts had teaching services also. Thanks again for a walk in nostalgia also. Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
