Killa Camden

Friday, I visited a major hospital in killa Camden, NJ (for work). Leading up to my trip, anyone and everyone I spoke with relayed horror stories of their experiences in Camden. It lead me to believe I was taking a trip to Beirut...or Iraq. Well, upon entering Camden, I must have lucked into a "green zone". I had no trouble navigating around the city, and I didn't see any weapons or criminal elements. Basically, I did not fear for my life. I left feeling Camden's bark was worse than its bite.

I liked spending time in the hospital. It made me feel like I was on the set of Scrubs. I kept thinking I would turn a corner and see J.D., or get out of an elevator and run into Elliot or Turk. I expected to see Dr. Cox blow up at some unlucky resident. Like J.D., my mind sometimes devolves into a fantasy world. But overall, the real hospital's staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a nice experience.
