Up all night, fever and at times thinking about going to the ER(Hi, I'm the new doc and I am really sick). Made it through with my DOC(Excedrin). I did call in sick one time. Spinal cord contusion and temporary quadraplegia. I don't anyone snickered about that one.<BR/><BR/>BigBeaconHikerBigBeaconHikernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-31896307840801086142009-03-28T04:59:00.000-04:002009-03-28T04:59:00.000-04:00get well soon...your writings are really good...ve...get well soon...<BR/>your writings are really good...very natural...dipteshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-49421033307570238752009-03-26T19:39:00.000-04:002009-03-26T19:39:00.000-04:00I do hope you are feeling better!

Heck, I've been at a rehearsal where I've had to go throw up and then come back and finish up the rehearsal. I played as a family member lay dying. I've played and bled on the instrument. It's just what one-on-a-part people do. String players call in sick. (Uh-oh, I'm going to get in trouble now!)<BR/><BR/>And here YOU are, in medicine AND playing oboe. You are in big, big trouble there. Hmmm.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, heal quickly.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16172401944836258683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-42308813561673035302009-03-26T14:04:00.000-04:002009-03-26T14:04:00.000-04:00Cool post....Cool post....kkkumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01522793688034778658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-61391810639790060542009-03-26T06:32:00.000-04:002009-03-26T06:32:00.000-04:00Thanks, all!Jo - I agree it's poor, both for me an...Thanks, all!<BR/><BR/>Jo - I agree it's poor, both for me and for the patients; but no one's come up with a good solution so far.
