| it's premature, but i'm imagining how sad it'll be when everyone will graduate to become the **MVI** of some house of god, somewhere far from here. my witty friend d compares rotations to speed dating - betting on a match after a brief, subjective, unenlightening and anxiety-warped encounter. just 6 wks ago, i would have said i can see myself doing anything (except the magic-based medicine they call peds). now i can't imagine myself doing anything. possibly, i've seen 1 too many broken & bitter MD's looking to deflower the hope & humane naivite of the earnest novice. or possibly i'm coming to accept that medicine ends up being just a job in the end. and work never fails to be full of tedium, repetition, red tape and system failures. i keep looking for that something that will always be exciting and new, but even then, things become patterned after prior events. even trauma, which i had hoped held the illusive, constant unknown. it's still blunt vs penetrating trauma, then it's ABC's, & then fix the hole. solomon & his damn sun. so, where to go from here? evade the question. MPH. i defer answering for another year. phew.

my herb
garden. still moving despite the 20 deg temps & sunless sky. thought this
garden was IT, but in fact, this is by
far cooler. yay for mutant hydroponics! in these holidays of retail binging,
i’m appalled at the rampant gluttony of consumerism, yet i am absolutely
complicit. i bought a commuter bike with my xmas “present” – totally cracked
under pdx peer-pressure. if i ever don spandex, feel free to sever ties. then,
i found the aerogarden…how can i not
want? this is how canada
must feel.  
my dear friend
j is 16w3d preg. she describes how her doc dismisses her astute observations
with a nonchalant wave, and I wonder if i do that… so many patients, so many
words, so little time… at least it’s fun. i can’t believe i'm saying this, but
i really like ob/gyn. argh! vagina
everywhere – i thought i'd hate it. plus the stories – evil residents who hide
their horns under their surgical hats -->
not true. i've
had so much fun. and i hoped this would be the one rotation I could relax
without regard as to whether i'm impressing anyone. this is the story of my
life. it’s always the least likely. like gosselin’s 50/50 theory – always pick
the opposite answer. God’s sense of humor. i've been on gyn, and start ob
L&D next week. looking forward to my first delivery. very excite! please
wish me great success.
happy new
year!
come visit
me!

| diane sawyer is a blue-eyed devil, yes, but she did present the nk famine to mass media. i thought her abc report from nk this week was right on. she talked about "juchae" and racial pride - c'mon, how many of us don't have an uncle who spouts nationalistic praise akin to uncle victor's militant hoo-ah fervor. she even compared the adoration of kim il sung to a cult - not shocked. the international idealistic chump, buying a solid gold watch for a dollar, buying socialist utopia at the cost of knowledge & freedom. the thoughts and reactions of those she met are representative of what i, also, experienced. this surreal, absolute faith in their leaders and country. the thing is, the govt minder is standing right there, ready to ship you off to a work camp at the smallest whisper of doubt, so i don't know how honest these thoughts are. it is true that their country has national education and healthcare - for party loyalists. but i saw children outside of the school, who it appeared were not allowed entrance to the school. and the hospital i was at, funded by korean-american donations, was preferred to the govt hospital, because we had electricity and medicine, where they had little to none.
i saw eva yerbabuena a few weeks ago - amazing. thank God medicine doesn't require graceful feet.
i've never had a facial in my life - i couldn't justify the indulgence, especially when there are kids in nk dying of preventable diseases. a friend and I decided to get one, today, despite my years of denial. i really want one and feel like poo after all these weeks of the wards. am i morally compromised? with an unrejuvinated face?
