But then I remember that it is also the sad events that often give our work meaning. <br /><br />But I have to disagree...Robbins is NOT the devil...Guyton and Hall (Med Phys) are the devils!!! At least Robbins has snazzy photos. <br /><br />Maha--I agree, it is a privilege. And I do complain a lot about being older and feeling limited with my options post-MD as a result--but the trade off with my age is that I have a completely different appreciation for what we are learning. And for that I feel very lucky. <br /><br />I hope your prediction comes true! :)Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-74283049149588328242010-02-12T02:24:29.313-06:002010-02-12T02:24:29.313-06:00That poor man.

I only met him and his wife twice and it was totally heartbreaking.Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-2259496965820987852010-02-11T10:25:49.643-06:002010-02-11T10:25:49.643-06:00Thanks Bongi--it's something I have to keep co...Thanks Bongi--it's something I have to keep coming back to, it's easy to get caught up in the Na+/K+ pumps and the glutamine and the seratonin and forget the macro view of it all. <br /><br />For that I am grateful--for all the patient contact that I have had up to this point.Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-42415581833980424082010-02-11T10:19:46.799-06:002010-02-11T10:19:46.799-06:00And.... he died.
