just blah

It?s been a good holiday so far I?d say. Not totally wasted. Erich Segal has kept my brain cells active for the best part of two weeks by his awesome Novel ?doctors? which I think every medical student, or those who are thinking of going into medicine, should read . Equally recommended for anybody who want to know what doctors are all about and the epidemic of well-insulated moral schizophrenia among them. It is the closest mesh-mash approximation of the whole thing I?d say.

It was interesting to me to learn that fishermen deliberately sink huge ships in the sea for fish to make homes out of them, and for them to come catch those fish. I don?t think a database has ever been compiled, for divers, which details the location of those wrecks. It could be quite useful to make one.

“Law school teaches you how to use facts to convince people of your version of the truth ? which may not really be the truth. In medicine, at least, a live man is a live and a corpse is dead. In law, they?d have a moch trial and let the jury decide.”

    I really like the quote. It makes you think, ‘their version of the truth’. When truly there is only one real truth, but somehow it’s always concealed.
