He thanked me for listening

He thanked me for listening

He said “thank you for listening to me” before he left for the Emergency Room.  I’m still mulling over his appreciation.  He did not want to come to the Urgent Care, but he named a few complaints to his nurse daughter and she asked him to please be seen.  His symptoms were vague.  He had…Continue Reading “He thanked me for listening” →

Pandemic Brain

Categories Medical, Musings, Uncategorized

I stopped writing during Covid. Even my journals are empty. I had a strong desire as a physician to “do something” so I worked Urgent Care. There has been some discussion about the 1918 flu pandemic not showing up in much literature of the time, with the exception of Pale Rider, by Laura Spinney. I…Continue Reading “Pandemic Brain” →

Be Safe. Be Smart. Do No Harm.

Categories Medical, Musings

Virus rates are going up, up, up.  While the mortality rates are so much better, the number of deaths are going up because more people are contracting the virus.  How can we control it?  We can wear a mask and we can avoid crowds.  This is not a partisan issue.  This is not a partisan…Continue Reading “Be Safe.

Want to focus, connect and practice mindfulness? Try Improv!

Categories Musings

My husband and I decided to take an Improv 101 class.  We will soon “graduate” from 201.  Instead of a diploma, we get to perform a showcase.  Does this sound fun or terrifying?  For me, it is both.  Improv  class has gotten in the way of my blog writing, but it has been worth it. …Continue Reading “Want to focus, connect and practice mindfulness?

How to “Get More Done”

Categories Medical, Musings

The tick-tock of the clock is painful, all sane and logical.  I want to tear it off the wall.  Eve 6 “Get More Done” I used to think about time differently.  For a while I thought I accomplished more in a day in my youth than I do now, but no, I simply have added…Continue Reading “How to “Get More Done”” →

Can an energy shield save you from negativity?

Categories Musings

I believe that energy vampires are real and unhappiness is contagious. Why do some people drain your energy and others refill your reserves?  While most of life is a balancing act, it is important to make sure you are surrounded by enough people, activities and thoughts that refill your tank or you will find yourself…Continue Reading “Can an energy shield save you from negativity?” →

Narrating Death

Categories Medical, Musings

At a recent conference, the palliative care physician and author, Dr. Kathryn Mannix, spoke about death and the process of dying.  She asked for those of us having witnessed death to raise our hands.  In a typical lecture hall, she might see 10% of hands raised.  But, in a room of physicians, 90% of our…Continue Reading “Narrating Death” →

#SilverFox or #GrannyHair

Categories Musings

I’m now gray. It took over a year to bleach enough color out, grow enough of my natural out and to overall transform to my natural gray hair.  I remember 10 years ago I complained to my colorist about the changing texture of my hair and he responded, “Well, gray hair is wiry.”  I took…Continue Reading “#SilverFox or #GrannyHair” →
