I won't write anything ER related today, even though I have a few stories to tell about the subject, so I'm sorry if you came into this blog seeking for such content. But it won't be an uninteresting blog, regardless. This is the story of who I am as a gamer. Of how I've become the gamer I am today. And why today is such a nostalgic day for me. 1.- The early days... I first got i...

First of all, let me thank you guys for featuring my blog "A doctor with a broken voice, and dying well" in Pony Tales #7 central pages. You sure made me blush. It's an honor I was not expecting, so I really thank you all for your kind stars and the people involved in making the e-zine for thinking my blog post had cut the mustard to be in it.

After we had dinner last night with the EMTs...

It's been one hell of a long time. First of all, apologies for the long absence. I've had a massive workload lately and I haven't been able to write in my blog or play as much SC2/cast games as much as I wanted. Now that my voice is all screwed up, I can't cast either :C... Buuut... Since I'm sick with laryngitis and my doctor put me on sick leave for 10 days, since, as he said &q...

The best friend I've ever had. She was fun. Caring. Supportive. Loving. Charming. Not afraid to speak up her mind. To be rude when she had to. She was a loving sister and daughter. A dedicated student. She was there when I needed her. And when I didn't. She made a difference in my life. It's been 18 years since she and her family passed away. 18 fucking years. And...

Nothing relevant was going on, it was just another standard day. People consulting with 2 days-long coughs, or fever, or diarrhea, or whatever simple thing that was making them ill. I was on my 20th patient of the day at around 10:00 AM, when all of a sudden, I feel a sharp, intense pain on my right eye. As most of you know, I'm an ER doctor,...

It had been a slow day, not many patients to see. That is usually a bad omen, since slow days tend to get shitty in any second with complicated patients. I was having a coffee in a moment I had to spare when suddenly the speakers go off: "Dr. Vargas, please call 1402. Dr Vargas, please call 1402." So I call the ER. The EMTs were bringing in ...

He was a 98 years old male, who I've known for many years, even before I was a doctor. He was a sweet guy; anyone would have wanted him for grandfather. Playful, always happy, full of jokes and histories to tell. I hospitalized him 8 weeks ago because of a pneumonia. Got in and out of the hospital for the last two months. Even at that, he joked about, saying &qu...

This time with a rant about how scumbag can your own co-workers and colleagues be. It's 3AM here in Chile. I'm on call on the ER. And I'm so fucking pissed... I'm working (or should I say 'I WAS working'...) on a huge project involving the renovation and modernization of most of the medical equipment on our hospital's ER and internal medicine ward. Big words, l...

It wasn't even my shift, I was helping out a colleague of mine because we're at respiratory disease peak season, and ER consults go through the roof in this time of the year. For a small hospital with only 16 beds, we get about 110 consults on the ER each day, usually seen by a single MD who's on duty for 24 hours and then, the next day, does clinic duty for 8 ...

Long story, so sit down and read if you'd be so kind. Once upon a time, when I was known as just "Winters" on this big ocean called Teh Internetz, like 7 years ago, I played Call Of Duty. A friend of mine, who also played, invited me over to his clan. That's when I met her. We'll call her... Felicity. What the fuck, I know the name is over...

This time with a very personal story I'd like to share with you. I'm currently 26 years old. As you already know (or at least the folks who read my blog all the time do) I'm an MD (I graduated 2 years ago) and I'm working at a small, low complexity countryside hospital in southern Chile doing my GP residency in order to gain a little more experience so in a year or two I can...

I don't really want to offend anyone by doing this and since I recieved some messages saying "hey man, I feel offended by this", then I'll delete this and will no longer do this blog. Fin.

I haven't been able to cast as much as I'd want but I begun doing so (and playing a lot again)... But now that I have a lot of spare time and can do it, I'll go back into casting matches and providing commentary and analysis. But I've been wondering... Should I keep on casting in spanish or go for casting in english only? I mean, I had this little audience of about ...

We were going out for over 4 months and she felt "I was too good for her" and she was afraid to fuck things up. I said she was taking things too quickly and was being too possesive (i.e: Wanted to be with me ALL THE DAMN TIME) ._. Needless to say after we broke up, we ended up as friends with benefits. We slept together that very same day. I believe that ... Tue, 06 Mar 2012 13:01:12 +0900 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=318092 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=314941 UmbraaeternuS Hello TL. I want to share with you another of my medical tales. I was attending my medical consult today. The last patient of the day was a 9 years old girl who came with her mother, who was a lady about 30 years old. So I calm the mom down, and begin taking up the little girl's medical history. Remarkabely healthy, all her vaccinations up to date, no family history of epilepsy, no...

So I was at my 24 hours ER shift as attending physician yesterday. The morning had been really good, no patients at all. So I was at the residency having a cup of coffee... Suddenly, at 11:30 AM... I grab the phone and ring the ER. She didn't finish the sentence and I hopped out of the couch and ran to the ER, thinking "Nothing urgent though...

I've just finished an 8 hour-long drive from Curico, in central Chile, to Llanquihue, in the southern lakes region of Chile. I came to surprise my parents for the holiday season. I'm fucking freezing here but that won't stop me from doing a certain thing MarkyO (yes, THAT MarkyO, [tlpd#players#1361#Z#international]Day[9][/tlpd]'s admin) suggested I should do a couple days ago while we we...
