I have mentioned about my excitement with working in the hospital. I have failed to mention of course that i also get excited at climbing mountains, going to the open seas... and when i get there, be it hanging on for dear life because i am a couple of centimeters away from falling or sinking remembering i do not know how to swim, I invariably think - what the heck was i thinking? So that was my thinking as i first went on my real 30 hour call in the hospital, patient crashing in on me (he eventually recovered of course), I not being familiar with all the american drug names, i getting lost in the hospital (who heard of ICU having two floors?) . I think before I told Big J, bless my hands that everyone i care for in this hospital will not die... but at that moment all i could say to big J was - please let us not meet face to face prematurely.
Two and a half weeks later, I feel like this is really great. Save for the occassional blunders, i am really enjoying hospital work. Hey i got to do a lumbar puncture a while ago, (poke a big needle and get some fluid, inject some analgesic), and did i say i feel like a character over in House? Of course Dr. House solves problems... i keep adding problems. But it is cool. I like it. I'm not sure i want to do it all my life but hey there's a start.
If you ask me, I'd be happy to just live in a beach house and cook fish. Wake up to the sound of the ocean and do clinics every day from 1 pm to 3 pm. That's it.
Hey now that is another thing to look forward to.
Fall is starting. The drive that i take to get to the hospital is now changing. Some of the leaves are starting to turn red. Starbucks is serving pumpkin spice coffe. All is good and well. My favorite grey's anatomy line feels true - " It's a beautiful day to save lives."

i recently come across this blog.Your prose is exquisite.I could also discern your honest conversion and desire to do God's will in your life.Your writings can be a powerful tool in bringing others to Christ. Just one minor detail,hope you will not mind."Before honor is humility".Our Lord is also called by different names in the Bible-Saviour,Prince of Peace, The Mighty God,The Bright Morning Star and others- but never Big J. Robert Jaworski is also called Big J. Why not address Big J
in your blog as plain Lord Jesus. I know its not hip-hop sounding name but part of being a Christian is never to be ashame of the Gospel.
God bless you more in your work.
hahaha big j also means jaworski? didn't know that... i guess i was always a sucker for el presidente and not jawo. I don't mind the comment though, albeit i am sticking to the term Big J as many now identify that as Him through my blog. This is by no means trying to steal him honor, He is the Lord of All, but i guess what i want to say is He is reachable, and sometimes when i use terms like Lord and Savior, some may get turned off and not dig deeper that he is still culturally relevant... Thanks for the thought though. How'd you come across my blog?
