It has been way too long since I’ve written on this blog and for no over reason besides the fact that I’ve been exhausted. I’ve been a doctor going on four years now and I can’t help but feel that it isn’t quite what I expected. American society is in a debate right now as [...]
Life in the Spin Cycle
This is my first medical documentary. It was the culmination of a two year effort ...
Do No Harm
It was another sleepless night intern year. I was called to bedside of a deathly ill old woman because her oxygen level was low despite being on the maximum amount of oxygen. I pulled up her x-ray. I squinted to figure out what I was looking out, in case it wasn’t obvious enough. A massive [...]
Gateway to the Hospital
The emergency room is a strange world. It’s both the best and worst of medicine all in one crazy area. In one room someone is getting impacted ear wax cleared from their ear, in another someone is being resuscitated after a cardiac arrest. Some people find their back pain was really a dissected aorta, others [...]
More than an Election
The past month and a half have been very busy. I learned a lot, helped a lot of people. Yet, I lost focus. I lost balance. I missed the voter registration in NYC so I didn’t get to vote, in an election that I wanted more than ever to vote in. Over the past eight [...]
2:30 AM
The night was going smoothly, the numbers of pages were few, yet the whole day I had this unsettling feeling. Perhaps it was a lack of food. I decided to order in. I looked at my watch seeing it was around 1AM. Even though it’s NYC even here the options on the Upper East Side [...]
Looks
As a kid I hated going to the doctor; absolutely hated it. I didn’t like the uncertainty. There was the stick in the throat which inevitably made me gag. The prospect of getting a shot. There was the smell of disinfectant in the air. I may go as far as to say I was scared [...]
The not so awkward silence
It’s amazing how much can be said by silence. In our ever changing (unfortunate) move to assembly line “pack as many patients as you can” medicine often patients are given the opportunity to talk. Some times it’s what they don’t say that speaks the most, that tells their real story. The other day I [...]
So Much More
Being a doctor is not what it used to be. More and more doctors become jaded at the system and on one hand who could blame them? Insurance companies are becoming increasingly invasive in our decision making. Paperwork is at an all time high. Compensation is decreasing while work is increasing. Still I find [...]
