Dead or Alive
I suppose I should thank Asian PowerHouse MrBrown (whom I honestly think looks more like a refrigerator than a generator) for the increased traffic to my site.
Thanks to him I'm probably in every black, red, and subversive book across the country for daring suggest that the birthright of all ministers is something other than our unthinking and obsequious Respect.
Better start working on that overseas bank account...

Hands on wheel. Gripping, Hard. Eyes off to the side. Running. Just running.
Running, just you, and the treadmill.
No thoughts, no distractions.
No memories.
No reminiscence.
Just you, and the treadmill.
Reminiscence :
"Don't move, I'm memorizing your face... I'll never forget your face."
Or voice.

Opportunity is pronounced OppUrtunity and not oppOrtunity.
That is all.

More Dead than Alive
Watching them stand resolutely by her bedside, playing songs from their walkman. Hoping against hope.
Ignoring the second, third, and fourth opinions.
... I can't meet their eyes.
I feel something; this is that proverbial fast-track to the burnout that other doctors speak and write in hushed tones about : feeling things about your patients and their relatives.
But that's the way I've always done it.
They are wrong, to hate us and want to blame us so... but yet it is easy to understand and empathise with them. So, so easy. Perhaps I would do the same in their shoes.
It's always so difficult when control is ripped out from under you and your world spirals into a nightmare.
Denial... anger.
Later, grief, and acceptance.
