Asynchronous Hoops
So here I am. Sitting by the beach. Listening to steel pan music. And thinking about all that is happening and has happened. It’s been a while. Lots of challenges. Another day for that story. Currently thinking about the multiple changes that are occurring in my private circle, family circle, work circle, community circle, national…
Hurry Up and Wait 2024
Sometimes we find ourselves racing against time, so much so that at the end of the day, it really doesn’t make a difference. The number of people who spend their lives like hamsters on a wheel, running and running and running towards an abstract goal is amazing. Some are already at their destination but are…
Reflections
It’s been a very cold few days for us here in the north east. The snow came down heavily with winds blowing and after 24 hrs we had icy grounds. Today the sun is shining and the snow has been pushed aside by snow blowers, shovels and snow plows, leaving behind mini mountains of hardened…
Thankful
It’s the week of Thanksgiving. The one holiday that unites almost everyone in the United States (for those who do not know the history, it is disturbing). It has come to be a celebration of friends, family and loved ones for things that went right this past year. Usually people gather together and have a…
My Brother’s Keeper

Hurry Up and Wait
As the summer has unfolded and the restrictions have loosened with regards to masking and social distancing, a number of people have resumed travel. Many are rushing to book flights to destinations anywhere but where they are currently located. Some brave enough to venture overseas. Trying to catch the window of when both their home…
Six Months
As a physician I am aware that there are many people out there in the world who have life altering conditions that require regular check-ups to ensure their stability. Recently I have had to take a closer look at their perspective. What is it like to anticipate your next appointment where you may or may…
Something New
A lot of things are changing for me and many others this month of June. We have resident physicians graduating and going on to become independent doctors. Some people are moving on to new job positions, offices, careers, workplaces, or even retirement. The weather, though inconsistent, does feel mainly like summer and with it the…
Moments
Today is a beautiful day for those living in my part of the NorthEast. Just stepping outside makes me feel happy. It’s Sunday and there is hope for the upcoming week. I will, however, concede that there are so many things I have to take care of. Fires to put out. Conversations to have. Strategies…
