Sleep Deprived

Woke up feeling like I have slept for maybe 3 seconds. Sigh! My whole body aches and my eyelids are just drooping. It can't fight gravity. I figure that I will need about 3 years of continuos sleep to make up for the sleep deprivation I have accumulated over 9 years of being a doctor! I am almost at the zenith level in mastering the art of sleeping while interviewing and treating patients. Heck, some day I shall be able to cardiac surgery sleeping..... heh heh. Just kidding in case some over sensitive souls out there disagree with me. Btw, surgery is not cup of tea. Too bloody.

It's Thursday! Cardio clinic day! Ugh! Oh well, another day to get more recruits for my thesis. The total now stands at 278. Not sure I can reach 300 today. And you know what, I don't really care anymore. Last week I spoke to my supervisor and I suggested that I should stop at 300. You could see the look of stricken horror on his face. After he regained his composure, we brought the figure to a more realistic 400 (that's more than 50% reduction from the initial target of 1000 patients!!!). Frankly I am tired of interviewing hundreds of men about their sex life.

I didn't think it would happen but now I don't feel like growing old at all. So many of them were so miserable because their little 'brother' have failed them. I used to think that I can still have sex till, oh..., maybe a hundred?! Now I am not so sure anymore. No one in my study beyond the age of 55 had a normal score on the questionaire I gave them. Rather disheartening isn't it?

Must really really stock up on some testosterone patches....
