“**In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you, some will love you, and some will teach you. But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it’s worth it.”
And some of those rare and amazing folks were recently gathered at the AAPM Annual Meeting (#AAPMAM), at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Silicon Valley, California, and brought out best in each other!
