WHEN THE ATTENDING CALLS YOU OUT FOR FALLING ASLEEP DURING ROUNDS

Medical Specialities

This too shall pass. Even if it passes like a painful kidney stone, it will pass.

There are all these moments you think you won’t survive. And then you survive.

Think of the sound you make when you let go after holding your breath for a very, very long time. Think of the gladdest sound you know: the sound of dawn on the first day of spring break, the sound of a bottle of Coke opening, the sound of a crowd cheering in your ears because you’re coming down to the last part of a race–and you’re ahead. Think of the sound of water over stones in a cold stream, and the sound of wind through green trees on a late May afternoon in Central Park. Think of the sound of a bus coming into the station carrying someone you love. Then put all those together.
