It looks big on the map – the Texas Medical Center – but it is HUGE. It runs for blocks. Just imagine a city core populated by nothing but high-rise hospitals and medical clinics. Almost every university in Texas has at least one tower here. Then there are several named clinics, such as MD Anderson.
Jim and Pam Pulliam met us at the airport, drove us into town, around the medical center, and then they gave us a tour of the immediate area, across Rice University as well as a trip into town – and an early dinner at Goode’s Barbecue on the edge of Rice Village. Thank you, Pulliams. And thank you, Sue, for connecting us.
Nancy and I are settled into an Holiday Inn about 3-4 blocks from MD Anderson. Just being here and knowing where our appointment is, is comforting. We look forward to the morning, hoping we will begin to get some answers.
