  1. Tipping a beer in honor of one of my favorite patients who died this week from AML. Just 5 years older than me. Life is short; enjoy it.
  2. Now, I'm cooking with fire.
  3. What's worse is that it was a BS page like this: "FYI, MS. X HAS A SORE THROAT." All caps. No call back number. WTF was the nurse thinking?
  4. Few things are as irritating as being paged early in the morning about a patient that's not mine.
  5. Driving me nuts: Safari is supposedly color managed, but it clearly has a bug causing oversaturation of jpgs (even with embedded profiles).
  6. Well-groomed "homeless" guy w/ a beautifully crafted sob story just asked for $12 to pay for a night in a shelter. Do I look gullible today?
  7. To make matters worse, the guy next to me has been clearing his throat every 10 seconds for 45 min. About ready to trach him.
  8. This post-doc orientation is intolerably boring.
  9. Vicodin and Percocet might be taken off the market? Good thing no one uses those...
  10. Friends don't let friends have neutropenic patients with bowel perforations. Tragic. No other words. Just fucking tragic.
  11. It never fails. The last day of the month is always a complete clusterfuck. Hence my still being at the hospital (unfed, mind you) at 10pm.
  12. First day off in 2 weeks and I get paged twice during the 6 minute period before my pager gets covered. Cruel, world. Cruel.
  13. I see sick people.
  14. My baby intern today: "Oh no. I'll always remember Michael Jackson died on my first day of internship."
  15. Tomorrow is baby intern day at Stanford. This would be an excellent time for those in the greater SF bay area to avoid major illness.
  16. Got a patient call at 6am to let me know they're ABOUT TO run out of medication.
  17. My natural inclination to trust nothing I'm told by UPS customer service has served me well. New iPhone is in hand.
  18. Huge mob of ppl at the Sunnyvale UPS will call. Everyone's here to pick up iPhones.
  19. Why do patients with TTP invariably arrive after the pheresis service has gone home?
  20. Guys, I have something of critical importance to tell you: FOR THE LAST, I DUNNO, 15 YEARS, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN USING ONE SPACE AFTER PERIODS!
