Innervation

My name is Josh. I live in Australia. This blog generally revolves around pop culture and music I find interesting. (Visit my Last.fm to get an idea)

I also post about other things.

Carice, you Dutch goddess.
I don’t believe in The Lord of Light, i believe in you.

    It seemed like an endless tunnel, with each new band bearing astounding similarities to the last, until I was sure that I was stuck in some sort of breakdown-inducing Pan’s Labyrinth.

  At the center of that Labyrinth was California’s Confide doing a cover of The Postal Service’s Such Great Heights.You might recognise this as being a song once used on Grey’s Anatomy (this post is now med relevant), or sung by the guy from Death Cab for Cutie. Zooey D’s former boo. It was a moment of special irony.

It was awful.

  Anyway, I came away from the experience with a rekindled appreciation for all that I hold dear, and now have the opportunity to lay down an Ariadne’s String of sorts, to recount my journey from the outskirts of the genre to its dark, un-nougaty centre.

Shouts-out to all mah boys in:

Things I learned:

  • Bronies are to ponies as scene musicians are to the ocean
  • Neon goes great with black, especially if you have a black guitar with neon pink/green strings
  • Shitting on breakdowns is juvenile and at best, picking at low-hanging fruit. Song structure and choice of video backdrop/location are the real forgeries here
  • Synth can only create two sounds: either weedly-weedly Four Year Strong leads, or orchestral doom strings
  • Guitars create one
  • Everybody hates Ronnie Radke, even those who have copied his musical and visual style.

So long and goodnight.

The Satchel.

Through thick and thin, my satchel has accompanied me through medical school. Initially, it strictly carried books and papers; now it is a repurposed bag for a clinical life.

I talked briefly about what I usually carry with me in my first clinical pearl post. In response to Wayfaring MD’s post, I thought I would share what I actually bring with me. These are my standard issue items, with room for switching or adding more items as needed:

  • Satchel
  • Pocket evaluation forms: For clinical skills and procedures.
  • Pocket Medicine: A compact book for diagnostics, investigations and laboratory values.
  • Two clipboards: The first contains regular paper for note taking including pre-printed progress notes and other chart-related forms; the second contains preceptor documentations including more formal evaluation sheets, outcomes checklists as well as my weekly schedule.
  • The notepad: Where I write and gather my patient information and keep the to-do list for the patients I am responsible for.
  • Moleskin notebook: Where I keep rotation specific clinical pearls and other tips and tricks.
  • Two pens: Always keep a back up pen. Always.
  • Pen light: For the quick neurological screen.
  • ID cards
  • Three sets of lubricant jelly: Need to do a digital rectal exam or a bimanual exam? Gloves are everywhere but these are not.
  • Access codes and contact list
  • Juice box
  • Two granola bars
  • Pager: How I wish this could not be standard issue.
  • Stethoscope: If I am not walking around with it around my neck, it goes back into the bag until its next calling.

Other items that I will sometimes include are rotation specific pocketbooks, headphones, and my phone charger to name a few.

To the medical readers, what do you carry with you? Tag your response with #what’s in your pocket.
