Got my Stanford Hospital security badge today! The photo on it seems to portray me with a sickly green tint. Fantastic. The patients I visit will take a look at my half-dead photo and feel better already. I thought it was cute that all the hospital dogs that visit the patients also have little photo ID badges.
Also got my TB skin test. It was strangely fascinating to watch the bubble of mystery serum bulge just under my skin as the nurse injected it. Kinda gross, but fascinating nonetheless. One of these days, maybe I’ll work up the nerve to watch myself receiving stitches. That is, presuming I need stitches again some day. I think the first and last time I’ve needed stitches in my short life was that time I ran through a glass door in Hong Kong. Luckily, I blacked out and have absolutely no idea what happened afterward.
Kenneth, I think you should go into the medical field! You’re actually incredibly interested in it, from what I can tell… You’re now working in the hospital… You find TB shots fascinating… and you took anatomy for fun! Gees, just finish it off and go to med school! 🙂 Change fields! 🙂
Why did you run through a glass door?
