Just saw Dunkirk. Wow! What an incredible film!

Astonishing use of non-linear narrative.

I'm glad they didn't pull a stunt like in the film U-571, in which they invented a reason for Americans to be the heroes, when in actual fact, the Americans took no part in the real-life incident depicted in the film.

Incredible war film.

Friday Night No-Wine Non-Buzz. (I'm on call.) Ask me anything.

I've got to stay more or less dry until next Thursday...

Just had to request of a patient that he returns when he's not high on meth.

I can't proceed with evaluation and treatment if he is legally incapable of consenting to it.

He was in altered mental status, blood pressure and heart rate markedly elevated. I told him to return when he comes back down.

He was cool about it. I told him I'll give him 100% when he's able to consent to treatment.

I'm happy to be practicing healthcare for the homeless again. But it has its pitfalls...

Ask me anything.

If I don't reply right away, it's 'cause I'm eating dinner...

Saturday Night Chimay-Buzz. Ask me anything.

Sometimes I think the Belgians convince men to be monks by serving them monastery-brewed ales...
