People without kids don't know..

I can do another version with Baby Jonathan fussing in the shopping mall the other day... !

I really have no idea how reading up on the original paper on the CHADS2-VASc score, jumped to reading the "Inn from the Cold" website. (If you insisted, I do have a rough idea..I finished reading the paper, thought about the weather outside (-11 on my way to work....), then logged onto Calgary Sun's website (as I have already finished reading the Calgary Herald earlier..), and there was this "Adopt-a-family" thing from the Sun, it happens to be run by the "inn from the cold" group.

Must talk to my Mrs about how to get involved.. 

There are just too much suffering in this world, really. I am on-call for the first time after Jonathan was born - the little one is 1 month old now and all of a sudden my perspective on life changed. You see your patient in a different light - the sense of family, the sense that the patient in front of you has/used to have a family too. He once were born as an infant to someone - has gone through adulthood, and now in his 60s-80s. I'm no different from these patients, they just got there (to their age) earlier than me!

Doesn't matter what we do, our job or what hat we're wearing - we should get on with making other people's lives better, if they're having a bad day.

Ian and Larissa, Noel and Hannah

Stuff ran a story on Ian and Larissa's marriage, it was, simply an incredible story. The Herald ran a FrontPage story on Noel and Hannah's struggle with cancer, again, the scale of emotion this couple had to endure is beyond my comprehension.

The press shy away from mentioning that both of them attribute their hope to their Christian Faith. I have a feeling that the press in countries, say, like Canada, will not pussyfoot on such a core part of the stories like these.

The book "This Momentary Marriage" looks interesting.. another book on my reading list..
