Mondays Missives

• A lot of people who have been comatose open their eyes as they die. The first thing you think when you see it happen is what do they see? If they are looking at a blank wall I step into their field of view with a kind/warm expression and smile at them and tell them they will be OK and then back away. If looking toward a window or family portraits etc. I leave it at that.



• A 100 years from now people will be wearing Polo and Henley shirts.



• It made no sense in the 50s and 60s when the designers of the day would roll out ridiculous looking dress made of plastics. Styles may come and go (and come back even) but, a human wrapped in plastic will always be a bad idea.



• Things aren't often as they seem nor do they turn out the way we envision they will.



• Someone recently told me I would look good in a pink polo shirt. I think pink shirts for guys may be the white devils lie but, I guess I'll keep an open mind. I think women should wear pink though.



• The patient I mentioned in the past who played golf into her 80s looked at me like I was an imbecile and said,"You better start." when I told her I never played.



• Recently a nurse from another agency made a very overt sexual advance toward me- kind of freaked me out at first then made me feel good.



• It usually starts with them rubbing my bald head...
