so i shadowed a cardio-thoracic surgeon today. he mostly does lung cancer operations. every day i feel worse and worse about smoking especially after seeing these poor patients lose a lung because they just couldn't or didn't want to quit. am i that weak? i hate myself for smoking every day that i'm in med school more and more. funny, being an atheist i should really embrace the fact that this is all we've got. today. this life. right now. yet how stupid have i been for continuing to smoke all these years while knowing that i will most probably get cancer if i don't stop. it's almost like being a republican...
anyway, i want to say congratulations to dima and olka! i know you guys are celebrating tonight and i'm sorry i couldn't be there to say this in person. hope to see you guys soon.
