C-arm: The Mini Saga...

2 pm: Surgical corridor: Overheard snoring!
Taking the covers off the Mini C-arm

Medical Physicist (MP): Hi buddy, what’s happening – are you alright?

Mini C-arm: Bleh! You know how we all feel during this COVID time.

1/

MP: I get you man! I too often feel this way and I think I am getting depressed.

Mini C-arm: I also thought the same way, but after reading Adam’s column in NY Times. I know I am ‘Languishing’.

MP: What do you mean ‘Languishing’ – what does it mean?

2/

Mini C-arm: You need to check out this column dude, it’s refreshing & insightful. Not only does he write about how we feel, but also gives pointers how to handle.

MP: Where can I get read this column?

3/

Mini C-arm: Here is the ow.ly (ow.ly/9kBh50Eu8tc) for you? If you can’t open it, check out your library, they would certainly subscribe to NY Times.

MP: What does Adam says regarding how to avoid languishing?

4/

Mini C-arm: He says, the opposite of ‘languishing’ is to ‘flow’ – keep moving and doing things that brings you happiness.

MP: So, in that case, why are you in this corner, snoring.

Mini C-arm: Do I have to explain that too bro? I thought you are board certified MP.
5/

MP: I am indeed a board-certified MP and, I also participate in the MOC and OLA…

Mini C-arm: I always wonder about you doc? Anyway, for me the ‘flow’ is ‘snoring’ – that keeps me happy. BTW, put that cover over me, it’s too bright here, let me go back to snoring.

@imabug That’s very classic story of us immigrants.
Mathematically put, it is the ‘X+1’ syndrome.
1. Come to do Graduate school w the plan to go back.
2. Do 1 year of practical training and go back.
3. Oh I got married, how about I see America and go back..

4. BTW I have a child, let’s make sure the child is healthy & then go back in 2 years.
5. A 2nd child is on the way, oh I will go back before they go to school.
6. My tenure is almost reachable & as soon as get my green card I will go.

2/

7. Interest rates or so low, let’s buy a house & will sell when I go
8. Public schools are so good, let us enroll kids in school.
9. Before you know kids are only speaking English but can understand & respond only when they want
10. Oh boy! Where did the time go
