Go to Grand round – nice late start at 7am. Interesting topic – awareness and its research. Imaging being paralysed, ventilated but wide awake? Im thinking of speaking an absolutely ridiculous line in every case, and see if the patient remembers it – any suggestions?
Tlef ekil gnitirw sint ecnetnes srawkcab (work it out?)
Some people advance the use of Bis, which measures an algorithm to work out brain activity. Numbers > 80 – patient likely to be aware. Think its rubbish – need to read
Spend my day in ENT – learn loads, how to use a Mac blade and assemble it. ENT attending reminds me of dad, keeps offering to find me a husband.
Later, have reservations with alma and the boys at Brasserie Les Halles. Run by A Bourdain of Discovery channel fame. Meat feast. Put on my back dress with fab crinoline, and fab silly gold shoes and walz into restaurant. Wine, food, crepes suzettes – this is the life
Walk to tube station – random man sat on railing… looks at me and says repeatedly
‘ You’re beautiful’ – Am I ? What does it mean anyway? Or matter?
Tell him to take a hike and walk off – have I always been this unpleasant?
