Fashion Rocks, or…Green

Posted on February 22, 2012 by stephenarcher

Shorebreak

Line Up

You might not know that doc­tors’ busi­nesses in the US are going bank­rupt. Mine did. Not me per­son­ally, but the busi­ness. Med­i­cine is a cog in the econ­omy like every­thing else. Lots of cogs are blow­ing out. I have a story, … Con­tinue read­ing →

This Is (Not) Grass

Posted on January 27, 2012 by stephenarcher

Scarcity brings out the fun­da­men­tals in a per­son­al­ity. I will use myself as an exam­ple, although I could refer to oth­ers in my life as well, “ex” peo­ple of sev­eral vari­eties, wives and busi­ness part­ners come to mind – these darker sides … Con­tinue read­ing →

Burnout

Posted on January 19, 2012 by stephenarcher

My patient had lit­er­ally burned a hole in his tiny, new stom­ach with a com­bi­na­tion of cig­a­rettes and alco­hol. I don’t have a moral posi­tion on this except that life is prob­a­bly worth pre­serv­ing until one can make an informed … Con­tinue read­ing →

It was an acci­dent and let’s just leave it at that, she said. My patient was feel­ing sheep­ish and guarded. It was Christ­mas Eve, 9pm. She had shot her­self in the chest, but she didn’t mean to. It was maybe … Con­tinue read­ing →

Hydra

What You Know and What You Don’t

Posted on November 19, 2011 by stephenarcher

I am study­ing for my recer­ti­fi­ca­tion exam in surgery, which comes around every ten years. The more I review every­thing (and I mean every­thing), the less I know. My knowl­edge base falls off pretty quickly once I get out of … Con­tinue read­ing →
