C-arm: The Mini Saga continues…

2 pm: Surgical corridor: Overheard snoring! Upon shaking the covers, heard the following conversations

Medical Physicist (MP): Hi buddy, what’s happening – why are you sleeping in this corner?

1/
Mini C-arm: Well, we had a good day, the surgeon finished early. So, they let me go & I was resting until you disturbed me

MP: How come you are not sulking like your big brother?

Mini: Are you talking about that guy with the flat head (c-arm with flat panel detector)?

2/
MP: Yes, he is the one around the corner, w cylindrical head guys (C-arm w Image Intensifier)

Mini: He thinks since he has flat head & is digital, he is better than the cylindrical guys. They said to me other day at the pub. That’s why they often desert him & go to parties.

3/
MP: I thought all the pubs are closed due to COVID.

Mini: Well, well – you know we have our ways. BTW, someone was saying that they use radiation to treat COVID patients, because of that we get away with the quarantine.

MP: How so?

4/
Mini: When cops stop us, we say, “dude we are going down to help your docs to kick out COVID”. They always let us go

MP: Didn’t I read recently, in 'Science' that low radiation is no good to treat COVID?

Mini C-arm: Do you know how many reads the Science like you? (Smirks)

5/
Mini: Do U know how many reads 'Science' like you? (smirks & murmers) “What a nerd, reads Science”

MP: What did U say?

Mini: Oh, nothing. I was just saying let me get back to my nap

MP: Ok then, if you see flat head guy, ask him to call me

Mini: Oh yay! Sure (start snoring)

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?

@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..
.
1/
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
