Church

I mean the house of God and also the rock band.

I went to church for the first time in a long time yesterday to celebrate Palm Sunday (on Saturday) and recieve my palms. I figured the few times I go to church this year should be near Easter Sunday.

Unfortunately, I had to pull a 24 hour shift this Sunday. I'm on call as I type at 3am in the morning. But I been practicing my guitar all day. Neglecting a stack of paper work on my desk (Yeah!!!).

I'm starting to get the hang of playing "Under the Milkyway" by Church. The latter is one of my favorite college songs. It sounds alot better in unplugged though (but not in my hands).

Regrets

I recieved a 99% on my guitar exam. I guessed on quite a few questions.

I entitled this post regrets because I'm starting to seriously regret not picking up the guitar at a earlier age (like from birth). But I guess you're never too old to learn. But I look at the acoustic skill of guitarist much younger than me and I'm amazed !!!

I really enjoy playing and learning to play. I am now addicted to You Tube watching others do renditions of my favorite songs. It's great!!! I'm also amazed at the vast talent out there that will probably never be discovered.

The song I picked for my class is Eric Clapton's "Old Love" the unplugged version. It's going very well so far. I have all the chords memorized. Singing while I'm playing is going to be a bitch though:-)

A Favor for a Favor

As a physician I always try to perform medical favors for friends and co-workers. I sometimes instruct my nurse to work individuals into my already crowded office schedule. I write prescriptions for friends and make referrals to other specialist etc.....

Now I need a medical favor and I can't seem to get one. I need to see a dermatologist. Most of the appointments are scheduled 1 month away. I called a large dermatology office today and the receptionist was incredibly rude to me. During our conversation, I informed her I was a physician at the University and her attitude suddenly changed. She was then very polite.

It sucks to be on the other side

Repopulating the Planet

I just completed a 24 hour shift this AM.

When I tallied my billing sheets, I realized that I had taken part in a combination of 20 deliveries and C-sections in a 24 hour period.

That's my new record:-)

Fear!

One of my major goals in my life and my career is to control my fear. I've attempted to train myself to approach my fears and an in a logical manner in order to better deals with them. I've eliminated fear in some aspects of my life, like performing difficult surgeries. Although there are other situations where I feel my fears will never be controlled such as public speaking (I think the latter is my most irrational).

Decision making is a major part of my job. Currently I find myself making a decision that will effect the survival of a living fetus that has not yet reached viability (the ability to live outside the uterus on it's own) . Again I find myself having difficulty controlling my fears.
