Sunday, January 31. It's all right, I tell myself. Adrenaline zithers through your bloodstream, I tell myself. I tell myself, you're a strong powerful man, who does not whine. You have a job that needs to be done and you do it. People are depending on you. You need to do this. Keep it together. Keep it together. Fuck this. Its 4 AM, and I just want to go home. I just want to go home. I hear you man. I hear you. Sunday, February 07, 2010 1:43:00 AM. Monday, February 15, 2010 7:02:00 AM.

Friday, October 31. Gentlemen, women lead very comfortable lives. It's great to be women. Really. Sure, we can pee standing up, and they have this glass ceiling thing, but really, can smaller lines at public toilets and greater economic freedom compare with the feel of a face after a face scrub has been used on it? I tell you, you poor sods, it can't. Two years ago, I was one of you- I thought aloe-vera was some kind of cheese they made from goat's milk. Man, oh man. Women have it good. You know what the...

Wednesday, December 2. I’m in the corridor in the General Surgery emergency ward when the nurse calls to me, “Doctor, there’s an ER slip.” Shit. ER slips are patients who are admitted immediately because, well, they’re about to die. His pulse is at 40. I can’t find his blood pressure. I yell for more injections. I ask if any family is present. Thank God, these are people who work with him. I hate telling family about deaths. He must be what, thirty? Probably in pediatrics. Focus. Focus. Not i...No, it...

Tuesday, July 8. I went to the joo today to meet an old friend of mine who is leaving for another city. I always feel sad whenever any of my friends leave, even if I don’t see them very often. I think its because in the back of my mind I know I could. See them when I wanted, if I went somewhere, but now, suddenly, I can't. How do I explain to someone that standing in front of a gutted corpse reeking of formaldehyde, my eyes and nose burning, was one of the single most wonderful experiences in my life?

Vital Anatomy: June 2008
http://aquilusaltus.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30. 8220;Sometimes I think that we should move up to Vermont,. Open a bookstore, or a vegan restaurant.”. You know, sometimes I do think that. I’d love to have a bookstore. I was having this conversation with my sister yesterday. The best I can hope for is a medical drama life. That’s not fun. House is miserable, and Angelina Jolie dies at the end of Beyond Borders. Ok, too many TV parallels. I know I’m not a hippie, but what I’m asking is did I have to be a yuppie. I frigging hope so! All t...

Wednesday, July 20. It is raining. It rains here in fits and spurts superimposed on a general background of rain. Broken cobbles punch through tattered streams of water on the streets. Mumbai is, well, bomb blasts and extremist Hinduism. That’s Bombay, man. Bombay, you bitch, why do you make me love you so? Is it because everyperson will find one of his own in that peculiar place. i wonder. Tuesday, July 26, 2011 1:01:00 PM. Wednesday, July 27, 2011 6:58:00 PM. Its the perfect city for the lonely hearted.
