I am the ICU screener. This normally means evaluating patients for whether they need the intensive care unit or are stable for the regular floor. For me it becomes a license to roam the hospital trying to fix everything I can

You have awesome responsibilities -
I can't imagine having to deal with life and death
issues and they inspire in me a reverent fear.
God keep you in your vocation.

I think maybe we have a surplus of we're saturated with as the extra spills over and we catch the crumbs? Bankers have a lot of money, bartenders drink a lot, priests have grace and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what physicians have. But I'm counting on those in professions of grace to keep me in their prayers--thank you.

You love being a doctor. :) 3rd and 4th year were two of the happiest periods of my life; I can only hope that this passion continues.

always good to see an update from you and to see this through your eyes

[kesil]

I'll try to make the updates more frequent!

Utterly random drop-by to say that:

A) I was thinking of you yesterday for no particular reason, while on a run, and wanted to wish you well.
B) If you're experimenting with supplements and dreams, I recommend "mag loading," i.e. magnesium. I took 2,000 mg over seven hours and had dreams that weren't vivid so much as flipbook-style--a sort of all-night series of hypnogogic hallucinations, with no coherent narrative stringing them together. With your background, I don't need to tell you of the, ahem, digestive effects, though note that my mag-loading partner had no problems.

Sweet dreams, Luke.

With my background, I have ready access to the IV stuff, which has not nearly so many digestive effects!

Though I give 2 or 3 grams of magnesium fast all the time...I'll have to start asking my patients how their dreams end up being.
