I work at the medical center on Sullivan Street — across from Mr. Cacciatore’s. Today, a regular from the bar staggers in clutching his chest. O’Leary’s right behind him, in his apron. I tell O’Leary, ‘He really oughta know by now.’ He laughs, but only a little — we both still miss Anthony.

Not enough people know that the band The Champs, who got famous with “tequila,” put out another nearly identical song called “Sombrero.” The song is hilarious, but so far as I could tell, not a joke.

Gotta love urology because they will basically order you to have a 3-way immediately if the mood strikes*

The dish that people called Marry Me Chicken seems to be designed the same way Nigerian prince emails are— if you fall for it, then you deserve what you get.

What’s my favorite disco song?
I tell people it’s Lovefool by the Cardigans, because once they do a deep listen and appreciate the nuances of disco influence on 90s pop music, they’ll probably send me a thank you card.

What’s a standardized patient?
For non-medical folks: It’s an actor playing the role of a patient. They learn a script and medical history to help students practice interviewing, supporting, and diagnosing.
It’s an essential part of med school—and great for protecting real patients

Hi everybody, I’m trying something new: I’m building a new AI tool to teach Medicine. We don’t have a name for it yet, but if you’re a medical student, you can try it.
Thanks to Scarborough Health Network Research Institute, we’re studying how it performs.

Just looking after a critically ill patient with advanced COPD, and I asked her husband to bring her home CPAP in.
He tells me, “no, I’m not doing that…it’s not my job.”
Whose job is that, I now wonder…?

Watching clips of Robbie Williams makes me feel like I’m watching a movie about a pop star and not a real pop star. What’s going on there?

True of Tom Petty, surely, and maybe Jeff Lynne. Debatable for other band members.
Probably-controversial music opinion: the Traveling Wilburys are the rare supergroup where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, in that their couple of big singles are better than any of the individual members’ solo work

Pan down to my dog squatting. Before I can collect the goods, some other dog eats it and immediately squats, depositing his own pile. Bag ready, I pick it up.
ANTHONY
Hey! You pick up my dog’s shit?
I shrug and nod, he’s right — and I hand him the bag. His dog licks his face.

“Why are skeleton songs always about bones?“ I ask my skeleton, “Human songs aren’t all about being made of meat.”
He clacked his jaw thoughtfully, and mused, “aren’t they?”

Alone with a bear, or alone with my thoughts…
Bear: *bear noises*
My brain: Black bear or brown bear? Would they sneak a polar bear in there? Where is this? Could it be a Panda? Is that how this question goes in China? How long must I linger? Where is parking nearby?
Sigh, I choose bear.
