Checking in on Boyd and Lyndsay

You may recall last Match Day, we featured Boyd Viers and Lyndsay Schwab, and Boyd’s “suicide match.”

For those keeping score at home, Boyd’s gamble paid off as he matched into a urologic surgery residency at the Mayo Clinic, where his now-wife Lyndsay, will start a radiology residency later this year.
