Rheumatology Rules

But only for a month. I work 3 hours a day, 4 days a week. Not too shabby, really. But it just doesn't have the same satisfaction as surgery does. You don't fix people, you just keep them from getting worse as fast as they would otherwise. While many of the patients I have seen this month have been ecstatic with their RA treatments, I find myself frustrated with the inability to fix them. Oh well. I'll just enjoy the sleep, exercise, and sunshine I've been getting while it lasts, and quit complaining. On that note, I am contemplating doing a half-Ironman on November 9. That is just a few weeks away and I am still "deciding." That's funny to me because in the past a half-Ironman would require months of planning and training and stressing and doubting... but since Ironman, it's just another race. :)
