Clinical research. Story of my life.

Hahaha look at the expression on that cat.
First Breath
The patient was going to have a C-section.
“Let’s go see the patients together,” said the nurse. I followed, coming to the realization that it was a two-patient case; for now, we could only speak to one.
I had spent very little time in surgery beforehand. Initially, the trouble was not about knowing how to scrub - this was further down the list. Rather, the initially worry was finding my way to what I needed to do. I scurried down halls, asked directions, and walked through the same halls again.
This morning, barely past seven, I worried about keeping pace. The nursing station was gathering a crowd as nurses and doctors checked in with the morning schedule. We walked into the holding area and found an obvious match: the only patient there with a round belly, anxious but excited.
Haha so true.
brilliant :p

This. At least in years 1-2 of med school.

FOTO FRIDAY
I took this in DaLu Village in southern China. The color is off because it’s a print that I had to scan in because it was done on film.
I saw this boy sitting in a doorway huddled over something. He sat there for a long time, so finally I walked over to see what he was doing. I saw that he had a baby bird in a tiny nest. He was feeding the bird some mush that he had made in a soda bottle top. I was really struck by the little boy and how seriously he was taking his job of taking care of this helpless baby bird.
