Post 5 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done. See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another!(2.b., 2.c., etc...) Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.

 

1. Skinny dipped in the Indian Ocean

2. Made Lewis Black laugh

3. Struck up a long-lasting friendship with an author because of one of her characters’ names

4. Watched a brain surgery from inside the OR

5. Biked the Gemini Bridges trail in Moab, Utah

 

Anyone else done that?

Poor sumbitch gets me pestering him all the time for cool medical stories. Mostly it's a boring parade of people with back pain (and, I discovered, a lot of "back pain"--distinguishable because back pain is actual pain in your back, while "back pain" is more related to wanting Moar Painkillers), but sometimes we get an Oliver Sacks-worthy tale in there. Other times, we meet voice actors.

I have no idea what he'd think of my medical stories. I try to give them a medical feel as well as an alien feel, but it's tough to work out. The stories did seem a natural offshoot of my fascination with the body, how the body goes wrong, and what we do when that happens.

The drill is very badass. It's got a hypersensitive pressure sensor on the end of it so that when it breaks through the skull it stops dead. You don't want that getting away from you, after all.
