The Best-Laid Plans of Mice and Men
Yesterday I planned to finish reading a section of hematology and nephrology, but instead spent the night hacking up bloody pieces of lung in between vomiting up copious amounts of a mixture of food, juice, and all the snot I swallowed throughout the day.
Tip for the day: Babies are covered in viruses. Handle with care.
It’s not that I don’t like taking care of babies. It’s only that during the course of the day, I may be sneezed on, peed on, pooped on, vomited on, drooled on, and coughed on by at least 15 babies in succession, who may have RSV, rotavirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, influenza virus, coxsackievirus and every other virus that we may or may not have a rapid test for.
Today, dammit, I’m going sailing.
