where the action is.
I remember my first 2 years of med school when I found any work outside the classroom as a big big hassle. During the last week of clerkship, my class got hit by a firing squad of exams and all I could think of was how much exciting life would be if I was getting a beating in the Wards/ER instead of wasting hours at home just deciding whether to study or not.

– An entire paragraph from my crappy reaction paper. Normally, this would have been unacceptable for me. But now, I feel the zen of not caring about what people think of my writing. Mmmm inner peace.

26yr old male, hit by a bus on his way to work.
It was 5am and as I was rushing out of the ER to go to the OR, the father whose son had just died a few hours ago, caught up to me, looked at me with teary eyes, and thanked me.  After my assist, which extended a few hours post duty, I went back to the ER and he was gone. My reply to his gesture? A nod while hurrying out of the ER. If only I stayed with him two three minutes more. He...
