Had a USMLE dream during the night, honest to God. The dream was based in a nursing home. I remembered questions D-2 and I had on what the diagnosis would be in a patient living in group facilities like a nursing home.

Medicine is all-consuming. I dated a doctor who I met on a juvenile criminal case when I first started working down here. Phyllis and I went to some party somewhere where couples were playing Trivial Pursuit. There'd be a question on sports or history, I had those. She had no clue. Nor on any other subject! All she knew was medicine. When there was a question on a subject outside my wheel house and I'd turn to her expectantly and she would have a blank expression. "She really is a doctor. Aren't you, Phyllis? Tell them. Do you have a copy of your medical license with you? She really is smart." Thoughts I had.
