I add this anecdote just to show how things outside of this D still sting.

I had a minor case come up today, and, in the OR, the nurses were kidding around. I guess they haven't heard my history yet. The word 'service' came up and the nurses began joke around about "servicing"...if you know what I mean. I usually try to stay low key as I never wanted to ever have a reputation of being 'out there'.

A married nurse then said out loud, catching me VERY offguard in the OR, "that's why you are so attractive Dr. FIB, because you are a dedicated married family man."

I can't begin to tell you how badly I felt...after hearing that. Loss. Failure. It was just not the time to say anything except to focus on the case at hand.

I guess....I guess.....she gets partial credit.

(sigh) I just wish this was over.
