De Torres Vedras a Évora, este fim de semana foi de grande passeio!
De hospital em hospital
O Edu cresceu!
Foram apenas mais uns centímetros de comprimento, mais umas gramas de peso. Mas a verdade é que o meu sobrinho está a crescer a olhos vistos! E por essa mesma razão, foi hoje, ao comemorar as 6 semanas de vida, que ele se viu vestido pela primeira vez com roupa de gente grande e crescida!
A magia da procalcitonina
Ena pá, ena pá!!! Isto é TÃO giro!!!
Há vagas...
De todas as alturas estúpidas para sair o mapa de vagas para a especialidade, ter saído 1 hora antes de eu entrar para um banco nocturno seguido de trabalho de enfermaria logo pela manhã, é, sem dúvida, eleita a altura mais estúpida para isto saír.

Perception
Something to think about….
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
The questions raised:
*In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
*Do we stop to appreciate it?
*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made.
How many other things are we missing?

Ena pá... é curioso chegar ao fim do primeirol dia de trabalho no estágio de pediatria, e pensar - "... Daqui a precisamente dois meses, estarei a chegar ao fim do meu primeiro dia de trabalho de interna de especialidade!"
