I had unscheduled (very) minor surgery today in a relatively rural area in Greece
* the hospital was not indexed in google maps
* when I walked in the the surgeon's office, he was playing chess online and smoking and told me he didn't want to do the surgery
* a friend's mother called the hospital manager to push them to do it
* one hour later I was under the 🔪 😅
no point to this note, I guess, it was just a bit of a surreal experience 😂
Lol insane
This is insane 😅😂
If the surgeon doesn’t want to do it, I surely wouldn’t want him to do it
Damn. If the surgeon didn't want to do it and I had to have someone convince him, I don't know if I would have felt comfortable 😂
I'm glad you pulled through. 🫂
Wow.
must be an important chess match but wtf 😂
Now that's customer service 🤣
That’s right out of a scene from the kinds of movies I like!
Hope all when well.
I guess that's safer today than going to the state hospital.
You are living a movie
omg! Are you ok?!
Yeah, a bit uncomfortable for a few days (and I can’t shower for a week! 🪰🪰🪰) but all good 😅
Your friend’s mother telling the hospital manager to do it like…
omg! Hope you be well soon
1) What
reading this felt surreal
Appearances can be deceiving. Don't judge a book by its cover.
From Salinger's "Raise High the Roof Beam Carpenters" -- one my all-time favorite Taoist stories:
Duke Mu of Chin said to Po Lo: "You are now advanced in years. Is there any member of your family whom I could employ to look for horses in your stead?" Po Lo replied: "A good horse can be picked out by its general build and appearance. But the superlative horse-one that raises no dust and leaves no tracks-is something evanescent and fleeting, elusive as thin air. The talents of my sons lie on a lower plane altogether; they can tell a good horse when they see one, but they cannot tell a superlative horse. I have a friend, however, one Chiu-fang Kao, a hawker of fuel and vegetables, who in things appertaining to horses is nowise my inferior. Pray see him."
Duke Mu did so, and subsequently dispatched him on the quest for a steed. Three months later, he returned with the news that he had found one. "It is now in Shach'iu" he added. "What kind of a horse is it?" asked the Duke. "Oh, it is a dun-colored mare," was the reply. However, someone being sent to fetch it, the animal turned out to be a coal-black stallion! Much displeased, the Duke sent for Po Lo. "That friend of yours," he said, "whom I commissioned to look for a horse, has made a fine mess of it. Why, he cannot even distinguish a beast's color or sex! What on earth can he know about horses?" Po Lo heaved a sigh of satisfaction. "Has he really got as far as that?" he cried. "Ah, then he is worth ten thousand of me put together. There is no comparison between us. What Kao keeps in view is the spiritual mechanism. In making sure of the essential, he forgets the homely details; intent on the inward qualities, he loses sight of the external. He sees what he wants to see, and not what he does not want to see. He looks at the things he ought to look at, and neglects those that need not be looked at. So clever a judge of horses is Kao, that he has it in him to judge something better than horses."
When the horse arrived, it turned out indeed to be a superlative animal.
That was a neat story!
Did you teach him to download Phoenix wallet? :)
😬 might not be optimal if the one with the knife don't care to do it
