in my typical you never know what you're gonna get when you get out of bed in the morning life... today, i watched a (live) brain surgery. it was a new procedure, first time ever performed in north america, and the surgeon was a study in stress management. not only did he have a career culmination, an awake patient being operated on, and a media frenzy, but he managed to be amicable, professional, and handled it all with such aplomb. watching the procedure, my body was crackling in such obvious proximity to divinity. on the table lay a 75 year old pig farmer, having plaque removed from a brain artery. amazing.
i had instant brain meld love with the older surgeon, mentor of the surgeon performing the operation. he brings together various medical disciplines - calling them collisions - and watches the resulting innovations & collaboration. since so much medical history has occurred on accident - via collisions such as experiments gone 'awry,' etc. - its an interesting model. im sure glad i collided with him today! i came away so appreciative that there are such amazing people on this earth, doing such good stuff.
some quotes i picked up from him:
"if all you've got is a hammer, everything is a nail."
"a rising tide floats all boats."
