I'm a published author!

After many months, our first paper is coming out in the February issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia. I was originally the 2nd author and then, at some point, Frank traded places with me. That's just him. He publishes so many articles that he said he doesn't need to be the 1st author and Upstate really needs to have its name in 1st place. I don't feel completely comfortable being the 1st author - he wrote 90% of the paper and it was totally his idea. But I understand his point, and I certainly appreciate the gesture - he's a great collaborator in that way - very little ego (despite being totally brilliant)!
