Table for One: Summer Bounty
http://solitarydiner.blogspot.com/2015/08/summer-bounty.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Thanks for all of the suggestions on what to do with our abundance of CSA vegetables. Tonight we had a CSA feast - grilled zucchini and pattypan squash, roasted beets with balsamic reduction, steamed baby carrots, and a cucumber-yogurt salad (thanks for the idea NOLA. The vegetables were so varied and flavourful that the barbequed sirloin steak seemed like an afterthought. I hate Walmart, but that's a post for another day. Labels: Being a Locavore. Getting on my Soapbox. I'm a...

Oh, the places you'll go (as a med student). The journey of a Canadian Medical Student. Mad (Scrub) Cap Adventures. Getting back on the horse vs waiting to be ready. November 26, 2016. So, I bought a thing. The thing is a car. Now, I’m 26 and this is my first car…but it’s also really my first time as a full time driver. Let me explain. I didn’t need to drive, my mother did the errands, so what was the big deal? 8217; My answer was, ‘yes, I am.’ And although I didn’t end up getting t...And yet, even thoug...

Table for One: Road Bump Opiates
http://solitarydiner.blogspot.com/2015/08/road-bump-opiates.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. Wrote an interesting post today. In response to a post. On the Frugalwoods blog. Where are we happiest? When are we appeased? Reading and reflecting on the two posts got me to wondering - why is taking pleasure in anything that costs money suddenly a bad thing? Why is anyone made to feel guilty because she wants to *gasp* go out with her husband. Even if it means I take 16 months to achieve a positive net worth instead of 12 months. I think that ultimately, it comes down to reco...

Premed Post-mom: Cardboard Forest
http://premedpostmom.blogspot.com/2015/07/cardboard-forest.html
Life gets in the way while working towards a future in medicine. Saturday, 25 July 2015. Packing is 80% done. We've gotten everything set up and confirmed. Everything in need of booking is booked. Right now, we just need to finish the packing, clean the house and drive. Just. Like it's that easy. Still, it'll get done. We're efficient when we want to be. Our life is changing completely. It feels so weird. I feel like the dog that finally caught the car. Now what do I do with it? 25 July 2015 at 22:22.

Don’t Quit Your Day Job and Apply to Med School. February 4, 2016. February 4, 2016. Don’t worry; next week’s post is all about why you should pursue a career in medicine.). My old life looked a lot like this photo I shamelessly stole from someone else’s website. Before medical school, I worked in the Learning Disabilities Research Program. S, and WRAT. I started working in the LDRP as an undergraduate student, and at some point during my six (? She wasn’t wrong. The journey to a career in medicine is st...

The Weekly Hiss and Purr 65. December 18, 2016. December 18, 2016. The Hiss: Another Purr. PGY3s at the annual program brunch. I swear I’m going to have a growth spurt one day (yes, I’m wearing heels). You thought you were going to get a hiss this week, just like every other week, right? It’s a double purr week, in the spirit of focussing on the positive. His name is Peanut. The best gift this year? Someone brought a live hamster in a cage! The Purr: The End of Commuting. Back in June when I got my rotat...

The Weekly Hiss and Purr 66: Insert Something Important Here. December 25, 2016. I always feel like I should say something loving or momentous or otherwise important when these big holidays come up, but religious and cultural holidays leave me feeling a bit stranded, a bit isolated, a bit outside it all. Sometimes we are isolated and excluded by cats who do not want our love. #punishedwithlove. 8217; as if I hadn’t said thank you a hundred times, exclaiming over the quality and colour. 8217; and pictures...

How to Survive Your PGY-1 Year or Things I’m Still Figuring Out – This Liminal Space
https://sluckettg.org/2015/06/04/how-to-survive-your-pgy-1-year-or-things-im-still-figuring-out
How to Survive Your PGY-1 Year or Things I’m Still Figuring Out. June 4, 2015. June 4, 2015. When I started my PGY-1 year, I heard the same refrain over and over: This year is all about survival. Just keep oxygen flowing into the lungs and blood perfusing the brain, and you’ll make it through PGY-1. Soon, new PGY-1s will enter the hospital and I will close the PGY-1 chapter of my training and turn to the first page of PGY-2, a year that I will spend on service (and not on call! Request vacation time early.

On Survival – This Liminal Space
https://sluckettg.org/2016/12/29/on-survival
December 29, 2016. December 21, 2016. She tells me she gets pissed off when she hears my story. She asks me how I feel about it, and I don’t know. Mostly I feel annoyed at her anger, an anger that can’t protect me from the things that have already happened. I’m annoyed that, having processed my own emotion, I am now expected to handle the emotion that other people feel when I reveal to them who I am. Alright, so I didn’t quite get the proverb right. Sue me. You don’t argue when they say that you were a s...
