conversation with a sleeping medical student
February 19th, 2009 by Lawrence David
i’m working on my thesis committee meeting slides under the loft bed in our bedroom. christina is asleep “upstairs,” exhausted from the drain of med school. fortunately for my blog, christina’s exhaustion and her penchant for sleep talking are on good terms.
christina: “yeah!”
me: “yeah what?”
christina: “the liver is filling inconsistently.”
me: “how should the liver fill?”
christina: “the food should go in all at once.”
christina: zzzzz.
it’s a little cute but also a little sad: even when she dreams, christina is in medical school.
And like in medical school, I don’t quite get the concepts. Food filling the liver? Craziness!
Wait till she gets in her first year of residency. The “sleep talking” conversations are going to last longer and will be even more “colorful”.
