It’s Pride month. You’re not allowed to say “let me get this straight,” you have to say “just so we’re queer…”

What an amazing video. RIP Brian Wilson, the sound of a generation.

I teach at the graduate (medical school) and post-graduate (residency) levels. My learners are unambiguously adults, late 20’s to 30’s. I routinely win teaching awards from them. Why? Because I never fail to tell them when they’re doing a good job or they’ve learned something well. I have high expectations of them, but they scramble to meet them because I validate them. (I am also unflinchingly honest – but always as kind as I can be about it – in my evaluations and feedback - but I think they appreciate that.)

consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about

Why do I feel like California is on the verge of seceding?

There are certain tests for which that will dramatically disrupt the results. That will not work routinely. 

During my last blood draw I was enjoying the phlebotomist and chatting while she did the lil tourniquet thing on my arm, and I looked away as I usually do to prep for having a needle stuck in me.

Then it was just a lot of palpating. Like. Too much. Repeatedly her fingers plumped vainly at my vein, hoping for more and finding nothing. I looked over and remembered I have the veins of a newborn baby bird and advised, “You’ll probably need a butterfly needle.”

I don’t know what the fuck a butterfly needle even is, I just know that my phlebotomists almost always need one for my wretchedly pitiful little veins.

Agonized she said, “We had a whole circus of kids through here for (I forget why a bus load of kids all needed their blood drawn, presumably to donate to witches on tinder or something) and we don’t get more butterfly needles until next week.”

I felt a little apprehensive at that point.

“But I got this!”

She sounded confident and she had complimented my jacket when I came in so I was feeling well disposed. I started booting my brain down to get my blood drawn, deciding to trust her.

It was a tiny bit pokey but I’ve had worse blood draws, and afterward she anxiously asked how she’d done which was sweet.

“Five stars,” I told her and hustled out, two vials of blood poorer.

If this happens, we should all refuse to pay Federal income tax. File a W4 as “exempt” and they can’t withhold anything.
