Stress Haikus, Vol. 1
Posted by Stella KevlarIt’s really not that
I don’t want to save lives or
Cure cancer, or AIDS,
Or learn to suture,
Slice, nip, tuck, fold, cauterize,
Intubate and wield
A scalpel, crash cart,
or a mere clipboard, white coat,
(name stitched on left side) –
I’m more than willing
To do bedpans, enemas,
Forty hour shifts,
Slave to a pager,
Give up all dreams of children,
A husband, a life,
Take it all! I will
Give you four years — eight! ten! twelve! –
Become an expert
On the tiniest
Of medical minutiae;
Stick me in a lab
I’ll phlebotomize
Anything, ANYTHING! Please!
Just explain why I’ll
Ever need to know
The impedance (Z) of an
L-R-C circuit.

I hope I’m not alone in thinking that “Bicycle Built for Two” is one of the best songs in history, or as Ry put it when we were talking about this the other day, the greatest song to ever enter the public domain. The tune is eminently singable, it’s pleasant, the musical stru

I, like every single lady on the planet, love ladies’ magazines. Which is why I defaced one at the gym the other day so I could share the insights of the Februrary 2008 issue of Redbook with you, my lovely lady readers. “You know you’re a grownup when… … you make an ap
