“you and I dancing to the sound of their breathing;
when the sun came up, we were still dancing together.”
— “Sun Came Up,” track by Sofi Tukker and John Summit

“Todo aquel que piense que la vida siempre es cruel, tiene que saber que no es así, que tan solo hay momentos malos y todo pasa”
You’ve got a nerve to be asking a favor.
You’ve got a nerve to be calling my number.
Can’t you hear me when I’m calling out your name?
When I used to go out I’d know everyone I saw, now I go out alone if I go out at all.
Does this (from “The Rat” by The Walkmen, in the playlist below) sound like interactions you’ve been having lately? With staff? With patients? With your partner, preceptor, charge nurse, chief, attending, trainee, supervisor? With yourself? To quote The Walkmen, “I’m sure we’ve been through this before.” Address these encounters through the appropriate channels and take care of yourself, friend. Here are just playlists and silly things and, eventually, serious things as external links to helpful programs and resources (once I properly identify through your suggestions — please submit through the content suggestion link or the contact form — and through the properly-trained staff what some such effective resources may be or have been in the past.)
