1st day of medicine digested

Food is an experience which is starkly appreciated with all 5 senses, the crackling sound of pan frying, the smell of a tea, the taste of strawberries, the feel on your tongue of melted chocolate, the sight of a chef's creation.

But then at some point it comes out the other end as stinky shit.

Such is the difference between working in the ED vs the medicine ward. One service brings them in and the other must deal with sending them out.
