Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
It ain’t rocket surgery
I’m giving a talk tomorrow on ENT Urgencies. Needless to say, I should have narrowed my topic somewhat. I have a bad feeling that my talk will sprawl hopelessly, lacking as it does nearly any sense of focus. Oy. And to make matters worse, I checked an email today wherein the doc running these Wednesday talks specified what he wanted me to cover. Um . . . different urgencies. Not a complete lack of overlap, but now I have to tack on a “loose ends” powerpoint presentation. Like I have time for this? Yes, it’s a two-hour talk (and yes, it amazes me that anyone can sit still for a two-hour talk), but I have a million different urgencies to cover.
I should have picked something narrower, like cockroaches in the ear canal, or fish bones in the throat.
Hey! This is cool:
Wish me luck.
D.
If you mean “cool” as in the sort of thing nightmares are made of, thenwe agree. What is that thing?
Most likely a trap door spider.
ENT urgencies? What does that mean? ENT issues that require immediate attention in an ER?
I hope it went well.
Two hours? SNORE.
I consider an “urgency” to be something that we (ENT) need to see that week — it can’t wait until the next available appointment in three or four weeks. It went well, I think. I saw only a handful of people nodding off (inevitable in a darkened room). And it’s not as hard to talk for two hours as you might think.
For some reason, that video wasn’t working on my computer. What the HELL is that thing? A spider? Looks like a hand.
That’s a GIF animation, Sis, not a video, so if your computer can’t digest that, well, you REALLY need one of our old computers. Heaven knows we have enough of ’em here.
It didn’t move yesterday (or I was too tired to notice it), but it did today.Dare I ask what GIF is?
