Is there a John Updike introduction for every book ever written?

Orion does not like fireworks. Unpatriotic?

Whom do I bribe to get assistance at Home Depot?

So it’s our 4 year anniversary. Hurray! Mike and Ramya make me feel so fulfilled.

On a completely unrelated note: I think of the doctor-patient relationship as a partnership. Both people working towards health. So it frustrates me when people come in yelling or annoyed about the wait in the ER because they have to go on vacation, go home to walk the dog, or haven’t eaten. I want to remind them that I am also there at whatever late time of day it is. I too have family/pets to take care of. I also have not eaten dinner. A plea to patients: we really do want to work with you and help you. Please be kind.

On a somewhat related note: I feel stupid. I know that it’s ridiculous to go into internship wanting to know everything already. But I don’t like not knowing the answer to simple questions. Sigh.

I’m done throwing a pity party now.

Nothing like internship to make you feel completely inept. Sigh.
