Okay, for the THIRD time now, someone has said I look like Jon Favreau. What do you think?

Jon Favreau:



Me:

Finally saw 'Solo' last night. I loved it. Also caught a little social commentary in a few scenes.

In scenes depicting stormtroopers beating people, the stormtroopers would shout at their victims: "Stop resisting! Stop resisting!", which as many of us know, is what cops who are beating up suspects shout when they know cameras are rolling. In almost every filmed case, the victims were not resisting at all.

On Corellia, it showed crying children being forcibly separated from distressed parents, by stormtroopers, natch. One more observation about a right-wing militaristic nation turning into the Evil Empire.

Our country is turning into a lunatic version of a space opera empire...

Friday Night Wine-Buzz. Ask me anything.

One more night on call, then DONE!

Got a call at 2:30 this morning...

This is not good for a guy my age...

My first patient up for the morning: the schedule says 'Swallon Leg'.

I don't know what that is, but it sounds pretty serious...

Funny thing happened at work today.

A member of my staff went on maternity leave a month ago, and gave birth a week later to a beautiful baby girl.

She came in today for a visit and to introduce us to her new daughter.

I was in a room with a patient when she arrived at the clinic, so I didn't know she was here. I finished with the patient and went to the staff office. She was in there talking with my other assistant and breast-feeding her baby.

"Whoops! Sorry!" I said, turning away.

She laughed and said it was okay.

Without thinking, I said: "When you're done, I'd like to take a look..."

I thought frantically for a second, then added:

"...at the BABY!"

Everyone busted out laughing. I thought my scheduler was going to burst at the seams...

Friday Night Wine-Buzz. Ask me anything.

Man, the day I have had!

Never a dull moment in community health care...

The police just broke up a knife fight in our parking lot.

One of the combatants had warrants out for his arrest.

And his "girlfriend" is a registered missing person.

The other combatant found out he was going to the pokey again, and got a nasty case of incarceritis; a pseudo-seizure that would have won an Oscar if it had been in the movies.


Comng up on the weekend...

Update on my overly-friendly, handsy pharmaceutical rep.

She's moving to California to be with her family.

I will no longer have to duck and cover when she shows up to the clinic.



She did some good things in her time. She got our clinical Hepatitis C program up and running. She gave us all the info we need to make sure our Hep C patients have the treatment they need.

But her undivided attention was always a little unnerving...

She touched my arm a couple of times during our final visit an hour ago. Then she jumped up, and said "Give me a hug!"

I did. I managed to keep it to 'one-Mississippi'. Then she made her goodbyes.

She was nice. But I wish her well...

It seems like all talk of a projected HBO mini-series about the Eighth Air Force in WWII has ceased.

For a while, I could see articles about "The Mighty Eighth", a projected HBO mini-series like "Band Of Brothers" and "The Pacific", everywhere.

It was scheduled to air sometime in 2019. It was mentioned on the wikipedia pages for both Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks, the executive producers of both prior series.

Now I don't see notifications anywhere. They disappeared from the aforementioned wikipedia pages. It is as if, like a bomber mission itself, the series has been scrubbed.

Anyone know anything about it?
