LINSANITY on Saturday Night Live

-

The past couple of weeks in New York has been all about Jeremy Lin, the latest sensation in American basketball. I'm not going to say much about this because he's been written about multiple times a day over the past two weeks and you can quite easily find the articles on Google. What I Am going to say is that I have never come across a guy like him. He's not just an NBA sensation, he's also Christian, typical Asian American, competitive, smart (Harvard grad) and wants to do social work when his basketball career eventually comes to an end. And he's pretty darn good at offering assists, which is a good lesson for me because I think I can often time not be a great team player. At the end of the day, his story is just inspiring and has been one of the highlights of my American adventure.

In other news, I have only two weeks left in New York! I can't believe this is coming to an end. It has been the best 3 months of my life. One more week after that in LA/San Fran then it's back to an immediate start with the Pediatrics team. This trip has been fabulous. Thank you Jesus.

Brugada Syndrome

I don't think I will ever be a plastic surgeon. Not because I like plastics any less but because I cannot let cardiology go. Today I started studying cardiology cases for my exams and came across a segment on Brugada syndrome and the ECG patterns that are typical to this condition. I was surprised to see that this condition was discovered and described as recently as 1992 by a family of Spanish Catalan doctors (the Brugada doctors). I love finding 'new' cardiology information because the problem with being so interested in something is that I sometimes run out of novel 'findings' to keep me interested in the field. Lately I have been reading about microvascular dysfunction (related to womens cardiac conditions) and today Brugada ECGs. I think I could do this forever.

Connecting the dots

I was reading an article in Forbes today on the world's most influential women and was somewhat struck by the realisation that I float in some of these circles, loosely but in general only by one degree of separation. I have never understood why I have been allowed to meet these people and to get to know them on a personal level. I don't know if anything is meant to come of it, or if perhaps there are just so many of them that all of us know someone or other. But sometimes I can't help but wonder, what the hell. How is it that little old me knows some of the most powerful and some of the richest in the world? I am a nobody. I feel like a nobody. And yet somehow, I've made it to the edges of all this. What??

Life Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I always feel like life needs to be packed with amazing and exciting things... so it never feels right when my weekends are empty. I get bored, and boredom doesn't sit well with me! It will be A.W.E.S.O.M.E. when I am back in my own apartment with pretty furniture and the amazing Apple iMac that I will finally buy and UNLIMITEDDDDD internet. It will certainly be really really awesome.
