As you've seen on DT, I continue to focus on juicy alumni journeys in entertainment.  To recap, we've covered journeys in acting (from a guy's and girl's perspctive), music, TV and Film production and TV writing.  And we even have advice on how to use DT in your entertainment career search.

Today, I've got an interesting tale about a 2010 grad who got a good taste of working in one of my favorite daily television shows and is now changing careers and changing coasts for a career in law. All with the plan of hopefully returning to entertainment one day.

This is "entertainment"/"law" path is a common one that I've seen over the years , but wanted to highlight it as there will continue to be Penn graduates who will contemplate this decision.

After the jump, find out about Corey Singer (C'10, Penn Players (Chair ’09-’10), Penn Singers, Quadramics) and...

• his path from Penn to working in an entertainment career
• which NY based show he worked on (hint: see headline and picture above : ) ) and his unique(!) responsibilities on the show 
• his career advice 
• and where he sees himself in 10 years!

Last week, I showed a video of Dr. Zach Lutsky (C'97) teaching Dr. Oz and us how to save a life.

After I did that post Kiera Reilly (C'93) emailed me to let me know that Dr. Oz is also a Penn alum.

Who knew!

The very ambitious Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Oz actually graduated from Penn Med (M'86) and Wharton Business School (WG'86)!

Learn more about Dr. Oz in an extensive article from the NY Time’s magazine supplement HERE (Penn referenced on page 3)

Did you see Dr. Zach Lutsky appear on the "Dr. Oz" show last week?

On the show, Zach talked about the "golden hour" of medicine which refers to the time period lasting from a few minutes to several hours following a traumatic injury where immediate medical treatment most likely will prevent death.

Zach then shows us how to save a life after a trauma (plus there was a nice promotion for "Miami Medical", the CBS show for which he is a medical consultant).

After the jump, watch the segment to find out the 3 steps Zach will teach you that may help you save someone's life (it was a good lesson for me!)
