notes from underground

I'm a 2nd year medical student in New York. I think a lot about medicine, health care, engineering, science, and faith. I'm looking for an outlet for all of that... bear with me. It might get messy.

Started studying for Step 2 this week.

My dad had a student with him I met in Pittsburgh who took up drawing as a way of dealing with the stress of medical school. His pictures reminded me of the power imagination has to re-engage and see things differently. This "praying mantis-esque" bug/ circle of willis mashup was particularly cool.

How did a man born of Eastern descent, a man who called himself the Prince of Peace, a man whom the sacred writings describe as eating with prostitutes and providing wine at weddings and healing the sick and ignoring any political plot, a man who wants us to turn the other cheek and give all our possessions if we are sued, become associated with—no, become the poster boy for—a Western moral and financial agenda communicated through the rhetoric of war and ignorant of the damage it is causing to a world living in poverty? My only answer is that Satan is crafty indeed.

Roosevelt Island Cable Car in New York City.

Love riding this and the view down 1st Ave, towards the place I now call home. Good cheap fun in New York City.

Our street. It's like this everywhere right now. Makes the winter worth it. #nyc #spring

 Came across this fascinating and powerful photo project, asking Sudanese refugees what their most important possession is.  It's got me thinking.

When I leave New York, I'll be standing on my feet.
