		<description><![CDATA[When working in a nursing home, and encountering a little old lady who has fallen over and turned blue, please make sure she doesn&#8217;t have a pulse before you start pounding on her chest like a gorilla throwing a temper tantrum. She&#8217;s liable to break a rib that way!

		<description><![CDATA[You have to think about what you&#8217;re doing every single day. There&#8217;s rarely a time when you can be lax, or not care about the quality of your work, or ignore its results. And that is true whether you&#8217;re tired, ill, distracted, or bored. That&#8217;s why it can suck sometimes. Why somedays you wonder if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been raining steadily for the last two days. Today has been especially wet, and (for San Diego) cold. It&#8217;s pretty typical to get a prolonged winter rain like this, but this year&#8217;s storm is especially rainy. 
Yesterday, one of my patients, a homeless woman in the hospital only so she could be placed in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend David emailed me today, asking if I had any interest in working to arrange a local, small scale discussion group on healthcare reform, as part of a call from President-Elect Obama&#8217;s healthcare advisory team. I think the idea is to have grassroots groups discuss the local conditions, and to provide some sort of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people still are impacted when they encounter death or other morbid events in their lives. In medical school they beat that feeling out of you. They start you early, doing anatomical dissections of donated cadavers at the beginning of the second year. I think everyone who has been through it remembers the feeling of [...]]]></description>

I just finished a 14-day stint on the wards. I&#8217;m still surprised how my life continues to revolve around an artifical lunar calendar. As a resident, my assignments always depended [...]]]></description>
