30 Something Baby Doc

I had a difficult minimally invasive hysterectomy scheduled for Friday morning. I need a new alarm clock because my current alarm won't go off again after I depress the snooze button. The latter has caused me to extremely over-sleep in the past.

I went to bed Thursday night. My alarm went off Fri at 5am. I hit the snooze praying I wouldn't oversleep and be late to the surgical case I was scheduled to perform. As luck has it, my alarm did not go off again. I was in danger of oversleeping again and getting a page from the OR informing me my patient was under anesthesia and they were waiting on me to arrive! (with me still in bed).

Suddenly at 5:30am I was harshly awakened by my bed shaking. Initially I thought I was having a seizure. But I soon realized all the furniture in the room was shaking. I quickly turned on the TV and tuned into a news station to discover the entire Midwest region had been effected by a 5.4 earthquake. I subsequently jumped in the shower and made it to my surgery on time. I'm off to Best Buy today to purachse a new alarm clock today.

Thanks God:-)

What's more pathetic 1) The fact that I'm in a club frequented by young 20-somethings 2) The fact the the bathroom attendant in this club instantly remembers me from SEVERAL years ago when I used to frequent the club, or 3) the fact that the said bathroom attendant is still working there??

I actually took something positive away from the movie "Turistas"

If any of you have ever seen this movie, it's about several unfortunate young tourist backpacking thru the Brazilian jungle and falling prey to an illegal organ procurement ring.

When I lose my motivation , I keep repeating this to myself:-)
