About me...

"Because she is so compassionate and such a good listener, Rebecca can run behind in clinic - I feel that she needs to say “no” at times to allow more time/space for herself and to better stay on top of patient care, e.g. PAQ, tasks, etc. With the adoption of EMR, she needs to make sure that all of her chronic pain patients have contracts – a minor point as she has been instrumental in improving our care of chronic pain patients."

Am wondering who it is that I am supposed to say "no" to? Admin? My nurses? the Patients? Me? You? No to EMR? No to not having lunches because of poor scheduling? I wonder why people should have to suffer because of that? I guess I am supposed to do what every other provider, nurse or staff does and walk out at noon for my hour long lunch break? Is that what you mean by saying no?

If staff have to experience the "dark" side of my commitment to patient care, then maybe I am not working in the right clinic with the right staff. I don't accept it...If there is a "dark" side to compassion, then I feel bad for those that reinforce that sentiment, including you...all knowing and politcally correct clinic admin. What a pile of crap you spread on the world...

Honestly...I feel fuckin' sick to my stomach. Think I'll have to say no to work tomorrow, 'cause I might have to puke for a day or so.

Or maybe you are joking???

Material Girl

Yes, it IS hard

Here is a video of young monks practicing with bell and dhamaru...not really so easy for them, so why do we think we should get this after ONE lesson?
Patience and practice...then letting go so that what we once knew in a past life can manifest in this life...n'est pas?

Still not over the jet lag...in a weird way. Awake at 1:00 AM...hope I can function tomorrow at work, my first day back. Just so glad I didn't have to do prostate surgery earlier in the week, like Dr. T-Bolte...

Anyway, my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...

Jet Lag Eating

OK, absolutely NO good comes from eating freshly made tortillas with butter and cheese at 1 AM...except that it reminds me of the naan in Bhutan...and it satisfies that weird pit in my stomach telling me it is lunchtime. (Not that I always eat lunch when here in the States.)


This flu, this jet lag...now this hunger...forget each time how hard it is to put our bodies in a big metal case and then shift all our cells as we fly across the world...

So, here I am at 1:02 AM, wide awake, flu a bit better, but then I remember I just took some advil. Behind, behind in my other work...

The days right now are lovely and autumn-like.
