I do a lot of sunshine. And some rain during a couple months. I can count on my fingers the number of times I've seen it snow around here.

Some winters are like that here (like winter last year). Then there are winters like this year when we had snow every other day almost.

of course, i know the hospital i'm going to very well, but in my dream this made complete sense... and the entire time, i could not understand why they wouldn't give the new interns a tour of their hospital!

Don't worry. Except for the shoes part, it will all be true. You won't remember any of the tour. It will take a week for you to figure out where everything is, and even then, you'll find new stairwells after a few months.
Try being on call when someone calls you and you have to ask them how to get to their floor. It inspires confidence in the nurses.

Ahh, the end of a Friday/Sunday call weekend. Slept 17 hours on Saturday, probably will sleep another 12 tonight.
I can't wait for my 8 months of non call next year.

haha, I had a residency nightmare as well! But I was rounding on one of my old patients in from the SICU but he was on the medicine floor, and the team was coming but I hadn't pre-rounded, then I had to go to class and come back, and I couldn't find my pager....

what's the chance we would both have silly dreams about residency on the same night. We really are the same person!

you know what, that's wack. Both Rihanna and Britney Spears have some good tracks, and Rihanna has a caribbean thing going on Britney doesn't. I think they are both decent pop singers in their own right. It's just like when everyone loved New Kids on the Block, then made fun of them later.
Give credit where credit is due!

I loved
that show. Then they made a new version and put them all in high school and that was crappy. The original is awesome. Yes, I just had to express my geekdom.

Which song? I've been addicted to "Shut Up and Drive" since I heard it on some dance show my wife was watching recently. (I'm not ashamed to admit that I love pop music!)

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

This is what end of life care should be:
O him who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder and grow sick at heart;--
Go forth, under the open sky, and list
To Nature's teachings, while from all around--
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air--
Comes a still voice--Yet a few days, and thee
The all-beholding sun shall see no more
In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground,
Where thy pale form was laid with many tears,
Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist
Thy image. Earth, that nourish'd thee, shall claim
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again,
And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix for ever with the elements,
To be a brother to the insensible rock,
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould.
Yet not to thine eternal resting-place
Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down
With patriarchs of the infant world--with kings,
The powerful of the earth--the wise, the good,
Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,
All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills
Rock-ribb'd and ancient as the sun,--the vales
Stretching in pensive quietness between;
The venerable woods; rivers that move
In majesty, and the complaining brooks
That make the meadows green; and, pour'd round all,
Old Ocean's grey and melancholy waste,--
Are but the solemn decorations all
Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun,
The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
Are shining on the sad abodes of death,
Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread
The globe are but a handful to the tribes
That slumber in its bosom.--Take the wings
Of morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness,
Or lose thyself in the continuous woods
Where rolls the Oregon and hears no sound
Save his own dashings--yet the dead are there:
And millions in those solitudes, since first
The flight of years began, have laid them down
In their last sleep--the dead reign there alone.
So shalt thou rest: and what if thou withdraw
In silence from the living, and no friend
Take note of thy departure? All that breathe
Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh
When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
Plod on, and each one as before will chase
His favourite phantom; yet all these shall leave
Their mirth and their employments, and shall come
And make their bed with thee. As the long train
Of ages glides away, the sons of men,
The youth in life's green spring, and he who goes
In the full strength of years, matron and maid,
The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man--
Shall one by one be gathered to thy side
By those who in their turn shall follow them.
So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged by his dungeon; but, sustain'd and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
O him who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
