Today was one of those space cadet days...2nd patient was a toe nail removal whose toe wouldn't get numb...third patient was a pap, so didn't really want to start on that until the toe was done...then 72 year old addicts...punch biopsies...40 year old lying addicts...bipolar, bipolar...the last one said, "you know, I have been lying to you for a long time."
No fuckin' shit!
I liked working with the dying...those young men with HIV...there was a time when all the pretenses were abolished...when there was no need to lie...when we could just be two human beings on this path knowing that we all die, that some kind of suffering is inevitable and that love is all that really matters.
