"We had a little... problem downstairs. Brutus is dead. He got ...hit ... with a... piano."

Cause you'll get hit with a PIANO!!

Here's to the rebels

I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright
I miss my friend

The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

A Resounding Truth

Being a nurse means. . .

You will never be bored.
You will always be frustrated.

You will be surrounded by challenges.
So much to do and so little time.

You will carry immense responsibility
and very little authority.

You will step into people's lives
and you will make a difference.

Some will bless you.
Some will curse you.

You will see people at their worst--
and at their best.

You will never cease to be amazed at people's capacity
for love, courage, and endurance.

You will experience resounding triumphs
and devastating failures.

You will cry a lot.
You will laugh a lot.

You will know what it is to be human
and to be humane.

Duel of Bretherenly Bretheren

VS.


About three weeks ago I left my stethoscope at work and as evolution would have it..... it grew legs and walked off. However, CICU always has a few extra just lying about so I decided that I would just use those extra ones until I found the time to find and purchase a new one. Well those others that I have been using are perfectly good stethoscopes.... but they just weren't mine. The thought crossed my mind of how much I relied on MY stethoscope. I soon came to the conclusion that the Lightsaber is to the Jedi as the Stethoscope is to the Medical Professional. You see there are lots of stethoscopes out there (one or two for each medical person), many are different with different styles and looks (single lumen, double lumen, diaphragm and bell, just diaphragm, ect.), and you can decide which type of ear peices you like the best.... so you see how one can customize his lightsaber.... umm... I mean... stethoscope to fit his individual character.

When a Jedi loses his lightsaber he feels lost... like a part of him is missing and he doesn't feel able to perform his duty as well as he should. I now understand the Jedi's attachment. However, as the force would have it... we were brought together again. I walked into work one day and it was there lying in the pool of available stethoscopes to be used! So I reclaimed it and am very glad to have it back. So REJOICE WITH ME.... for that which was lost now is found, twas hearing impaired but now can hear! Somehow I don't think that version is going to make it into our hymnal.
