No-one likes to lose control, but as a doctor there's nothing worse. It's a sign of weakness, of not being up to the task. And still there are times when it just gets away from you. When the world stops spinning and you realize that your shiny little scalpel isn't gonna save you. No matter how hard you fight it, you fall. And it's scary as hell. Except there's an upside to freefalling. It's the chance you give your friends to catch you. As doctors, there are so many things we have to know. We have to know we have what it takes. We have to know how to take care of our patients... and how to take care of each other. Eventually, we even have to figure out how to take care of ourselves. As doctors we have to be in the know. But as human beings, sometimes it's better to stay in the dark, because in the dark there may be fear, but there's also hope. The fantasy is simple. Pleasure is good. And twice as much pleasure is better. That pain is bad. And no pain is better. But the reality is different. The reality is that pain is there to tell us something. And there is only so much pleasure we can take without getting a stomachache. And maybe that's okay. Maybe some fantasies are only supposed to live in our dreams.

I'm much better, I can't wait to tell you what happened. -L

Has notado

Has notado como a veces en la vida... las cosas que vemos pasan como imágenes en la carretera? Pero hay un instante, una imagen que se te queda grabada y ...te cambia. No solo por lo que es, tal vez en algún punto solamente por lo que representa, no te has puesto a pensar, que si todas las imágenes fuesen tan significativas otras perderían sentido? Como las luces en la noche, cuando forman figuras. Has notado que, llega un punto en el que esas luces se desvanecen, pero aún puedes cerrar los ojos y verlas como si siguieran ahí? Y al final, se sienten y significan lo mismo que cuando en realidad estuvieron?
