pride on the job

so i attended the delivery of the preemie. i intubated him. i placed a 5 french low-lying umbilical venous catheter and sutured it in. i administered surfactant. all in all, things went as expected; no nasty surprises.

but when we got outside, and the note flew off the stretcher in the wind, and i reached out with my left hand and snatched it out of the air just before it blew out of reach,

that's when i felt cool.
