And if I spend my life on the losing side
You can lay me down knowing that I tried
There's a better world and on a quiet day
When I hold my breath I can hear her say
She's on her way
She's on her way

Time to reduce the dexamphetamine dose - did you leave out the 95 seconds of " mindfulness" or use the "stirring the stock" time to focus on "moving the spoon through the stock - feel the tension, hear the scraping, smell the aromatics, be at one with the steam" ...were you a firstborn?

I have seriously just finished an observership at Birmingham Children’s Hospital PICU and was explaining “It’s the vibe, the Mabo..” when describing my initial impression of their “culture”…and I did send a very posh English trainee to engineering for a “spare bubble for the faulty spirit level”..

I DEFINITELY want Nicholas intubating someone in the head down position - preferably on his knees, covered in vomit as he deftly wangles his HAVL through the attempted cricoid clusterfuck…I would pay extra to take the patient to lunch at KFC before his beard trim
