When you 're a surgeon, you can usually tell how the day is going to advance from the moment you step into that ER, either trafficking with patients or a couple of stomach flus. Today was not one of those days. Today had not progressed the way any of us planned. Now and then even the smartest people in the world don 't understand why these acts occur, and at times we don 't actually need an explanation, just time. I commenced off the morning with my usual routine: coffee, putting the kids down, and

Every day we put our trust in almost everything around us. Whether it be family members, friends, teachers, or even something as simple as a seatbelt- we trust it. The idea of having trust issues seems to be a common occurrence nowadays. Everything is built on trust.

I woke up as if it were any other typical school day, forcing myself out of bed.

Suddenly, chronic pains shot through my lower back and to my abdomen. My head pounding, I realized I hadn’t had any water for a few days. Sharp pains all over, I started to feel worse and worse as the clock in the top left corner of my bedroom ticked

Most people would not find weight loss, heat intolerance, and an elevated heart rate in a twelve year-old particularly worrying. Most people, assuming they even noticed these things, might write them off as “growing pains.” My mother, however, was not most people. She was a registered nurse, eighteen years in, and she had an inkling of what the symptoms might indicate. I remember feeling concerned that my mother had deemed it necessary to schedule an appointment at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital

She was the best friend anyone could have, kind, compassionate you know the type. The ones you think will never leave you no matter what always by your side through thick and thin, the one that feels like they’re your lost sibling. We were so close for so many years, like sisters.

Sanity in disguise Most of the analyses and literary reviews on Lu Xun's peculiar short story "Diary of a Madman" state that the narrator is insane. After all, the author calls him mad in the title of the piece. The narrator's behavior and thoughts are very odd. Would an individual of a sound mind be concerned about how a dog looked at him?
