There are some cases that you know you'll never forget. Even if it's a standard procedure-- one you've done a thousand times, things, events, names, faces stand out in your mind ( Read more... )

I've never considered myself to be the kind of person that throws all self-respect away.  Maybe it's the surgeon thing-- the idea of putting yourself through med school on nothing but sheer determination and a pile of student loans.  Maybe it's more specific than being just a surgeon-- maybe it's being in plastics.

There's this rational part of my mind that screams to think rationally and not jump to conclusions.  Unfortunately, this is also the part of my mind that told me not to jump into bed with my best friend's wife, so of course it's the voice I listen to the least ( Read more... )
