Reviving my blog

It's been a long time since I've written on this blog.  Part of the reason is because I don't have time (now that intern year is over I have a busy social life!) but also because I didn't think anyone really cared to hear my rambling.  However I think I may pick it up again because 1) it's therapeutic for me to write (so it doesn't really matter if anyone reads it), 2) it's a way to document stories from residency (so one day I can look back and laugh), and 3) somebody told me I should keep writing (probably my only reader!).  At any rate, I have a compelling and heartbreaking story to tell, which deserves its own post so I will start from there.
