In this crazy thing we call life, some days will go by where you don’t get 239 used video tapes from Karen.

I’m doing some more writing for the ESL book/cd company that I’ve done writing and voice work before. This time, the assignment is to write a bunch of stories rather than dialogues. Each story is about nurses - I guess the book is for ESL students who want to become nurses - and each one has to be about a specific subject, to whit:
Pediatrics
General medicine
General surgery
Cardiology
Dental & orthodontic
Dermatology
Geriatrics
Ear-nose-throat
Urology
Orthopedics
Obstetrics
Gynecology
Ophthalmology
Allergy
Plastic surgery
Infectious Deceases
Metabolism
Health Check-up (Radiology & clinical laboratory)
Occupational diseases
Geriatrics
Some I’ll write from the perspective of the nurse, some I’ll write from the perspective of the patient. Some first person, some third, etc. So hey - if you want to help me, and I’d appreciate it, if you have any interesting anecdotes about an encounter in any of these subject, I would love to hear it. Maybe I’ll use it if you don’t mind. I would change the names to protect the indolent (unless you didn’t want me to!). And better yet - if you know any nurses, I’d love it if you passed along my email (or point them to this blog entry) so I could ask them some questions/get their input. I don’t want to break any doctor-patient confidentiality, I just want to write some interesting little true-to-life stories.
Tonight I went swimming at a pool near Marlo’s house - with Marlo. It was a new experience for both of us. It’s $4.40 between 7 and 9. Adult swim in Coquitlam was $2 but it cost me $2 to get out there so it’s only forty cents more. Trouble was it was pretty crowded - and at 8pm we got kicked out of our side pool to make room for the lousy aquafitters. The instructor’s voice was incredibly shrill and when Marlo and I were discussing the idea of signing up to audit the course (for shits and giggles) I thought that would be the biggest hurdle. It was fun to watch her dancing around like an idiot though. We kept bumping into and kicking other people, it was so crowded. Once my hand came up out of the water and hit the hand of a girl in the other lane coming from the opposite direction. I thought it was romantic, but Marlo compared it more to a high-five. There was a whirlpool room but it was closed off with a sign that read - DANGER - CLOSED FOR SUPERCHLORINATION.
Afterwards we went to get something to eat at a sushi place on main and for 4 bucks I had the yummiest sushi I’ve ever had. It was yam with a bit of cream cheese on top and the whole 8 pieces were covered in crispy potatoe shavings - like a bird’s nest. With the wasabi I could hardly taste the seaweed. Cheap and delicious. Then I biked home - and here I am! I have another story to tell you but it will have to wait until Chris takes a digital pic.
