He’s about 75 years old and comes to his appointment with his son. His clothes are impeccable and he’s carrying one of these bags that try not to look like a handbag by having a handle on the side.
He shakes my hand and makes a little bow. Both he and his son have this adorable [...]

Work today went like this.
Got an adorable older couple. Guy has heart problems. He’s also had pain in his calf and foot for a few days, so I can’t rule out thrombosis.
Normally, I would send him to radiology. If all’s good, they send him back to me. If something’s wrong, they send him to surgery.
Today, surgery’s [...]

Yesterday was strange. I woke up at three in the morning because the phone was ringing. Some prank caller.
‘Hi, how old are you?’
I ended the call right away, but the moron kept calling.
I put the phone [...]

Monday again. How is it that it’s somehow always Monday? The weekend never feels that long.
I had a good day at work, on Friday no less. (Fridays are almost as annoying as Mondays, heh.) It made me think.
If someone would ask me what my greatest weakness is, work-wise, I would say that I have a [...]

I‘m so sleep-deprived today it’s not funny anymore. It’s bad when I really can’t remember my Swedish, and notice that I’m babbling odd things to my patients - like when I’m in the middle of a sentence and can’t remember what I was saying.
Thankfully the medical stuff seems to be more ingrained into The Shiny [...]
