Moins de Doute
ess doubt.
That is what I have been feeling since my conversation with Sam last week.
I reached her on Wednesday when I was in Atlanta for the ACIP meeting. We talked about the MRI of my uterus. It is really funny how two people talking about the same thing can be on different pages.
She [...]
Happy to See Me
om wanted me to come back to LA. I was surprised when both Joe (my stepfather) and Jade told me this. Mom as been doing better since her god-awful sepsis/atrial flutter/damaged lungs episode that started back in September. A few weeks ago, it seemed that we were about to lose her. Now I can’t say [...]
Scare Yourself Silly, but the Real Terrors Are at Your Feet - New York Times
he first thing I thought after reading this essay was, see, it was those situations like the author described that made you leave clinical medicine. Yes indeed.
Maybe racking of the frequent flyer miles for The Dark Side isn’t so bad after all.

Le Doute
oubt. It is suddenly eating away at my optimism and hope.
After having such a great evening last night at a business dinner, I awoke this morning feeling depressed and anxious about my upcoming donor egg cycle. It dawned on me that I have been fooling myself to this point. This cycle cannot possibly work. [...]
A Place To Stay
had a great weekend at home, something I really needed. Mason came over on Saturday and we had a good time together. I really get the feeling that he is embracing recovery this time. He keeps telling me how important it is that he does it for himself, and not mostly for me, like [...]
Should I Buy This?
’m in the market for a new electronic litter box. Nothing makes me more nauseous than changing the cat box. I’ve had two littermaids already but both died within 2 years. Yet this new one gets rave reviews: The Litter Robot
It’s kind of funky looking but supposedly works like a dream. For $300 it should.
Any [...]
The Tickets Are Here!
oday I received the tickets. What tickets, you are now wondering. Not the tickets for my next freaking business trip. That will be Tuesday to Kentucky. Yes, I get all the great destinations. I don’t even know where in Kentucky I’m going.
In the past 4 weeks, I have logged about 10,000 air miles. Ain’t [...]
A Foreskin is not a Birth Defect
am here at the AAP meeting in DC with about 5 million pediatricians. So as I am walking to the convention center for the meeting, I see protesters in the distance. I’m saying to myself, we’re a bunch of pediatricians, baby docs for goodness sake. What the heck is there to protest at our [...]
Terminal Fatness
I want to talk about something today that has nothing to do with any of the major crises in my life. By comparison, it is only a minor crisis. It is my terminal fatness.
Now I know there are many people who are fat and happy. I, however, am not one of those people. The [...]
Angry: An Anti-Addiction Vent
here has been way too much stress in my life of late. As my therapist predicted, I am going through an emotional Rolodex of feelings right now. She told me to be sure to incorporate some “me” time into my day. And this is it.
I am here in San Francisco on yet another business trip. [...]
