Random Musings

• 14 gauge needles are huge.
• Work hours debates continue.
• Teaching is fun.
• An electrified skeleton of a deer is feeding on the tundra that is our balcony.

• Must... Get... Out... Into... Sun.... SOON!
• Thanks fto an anesthesia rotation, not only do I now check out people's veins when I meet them ("Could I get a 16 gauge into that antecubital?") but I inspect their chins. ("Start with the MacIntosh, or go straight to the Miller?")

• Soon, I will be pulled in only one direction: the beach.
