Its a sad day in the history of our hospital. Dr. Broadwalk has got a promotion and has made assistant professor, but this comes with a catch. He will be transferred to another hospital and we now have no lecturer. This means no more free hands with cutting, no more nice guy to save us when we make blunders and no more mishaps (ok that may be good).
The most touching moment for me was when he walked up to Pitamaha and informed him of his transfer and joining the other hospital and before he left he touched his feet.
This coming from a man who jokes about everything and generally disagreed with Pitamaha's tactics regarding surgery. I was impressed and glad to know the amount of respect Pitamaha commands from his inferiors.
All the best Dr. Broadwalk We're really glad for your promotion but we will miss you terribly in the unit.
Till later
Don't be selfish! Share.

Humbled into submission.
You know the sayings, "Everyone Makes Mistakes" "Don't point a finger" "Overconfidence is no confidence" etc etc. I believe all of them now.
I made a mistake, a huge one, some people say it was justified but I don't think it was. I'm not going to get into the details but I've learnt from it and I will not let it happen again.
The only thing is that it could have cost someone her life and I don't know what I would be writing then, but, I guess God decided to give me another chance at improvment and I intend to take it with both hands.
Also, the saying "The greater the man the calmer his demeanor" I believe completely, now that I had to inform Dr. Lefty and he took it with a pinch of salt and just calmly taught me what to do in such situations. Thanks Doc.
