Monday Mornings
Monday Mornings: A Novel | Sanjay Gupta
50 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Every time surgeons operate, they're betting their skills are better than the brain tumor, the faulty heart valve, the fractured femur. Sometimes, they're wrong. At Chelsea General, surgeons answer for bad outcomes at the Morbidity and Mortality conference, known as M & M. This extraordinary peek behind the curtain into what is considered the most secretive meeting in all of medicine is the back drop for the entire book. Monday Mornings, by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, follows the lives of five surgeons at Chelsea General as they push the limits of their abilities and confront their personal and professional failings, often in front of their peers at M & M. It is on Monday mornings that reflection and introspection occurs, usually in private. It is Monday Mornings that provides a unique look at the real method in which surgeons learn - through their mistakes. It is Monday Mornings when, if you're lucky, you have a chance at redemption.

☀️ Popsicles or smoothies when it‘s really hot
☀️ Beach-it‘s actually easier to go to the beach (Lake Michigan) than a pool for us. But I have to be prepared to deal with all the sand.
☀️Both! But especially watermelon 🍉
☀️Mostly staying home but I do get in a trip to the East Coast usually.
☀️ Print and when I‘m in the mood, audio

lovintoread Feel better and hand sanitizer for all them little buggers 6y
Crazeedi @lovintoread cook chicken in a can or 2 of chicken broth, a whole chicken or pieces whatever you want. Dice onion, garlic cloves (3 or 4) and salt and pepper to taste. Let summer till chicken starts to fall off bone. Take chicken out remove pieces and throw back in , cook whatever noodles you like pour soup over some noodles and eat! Very simple. As much garlic and onion as you want actually. Garlic and onions are natural antiviral an antibiotic 6y

Monday mornings come way too fast!

I‘m an early bird and I‘ve recently started an earlier shift for part of the workweek. This is a good thing! I think “a case of the Mondays” is independent of when your day starts.

I hope your week is full of good reads, Litsy!

AmyG I am not ready for the week either. 6y

brilliantglow 😂😂 now's the time for two sweaters! I had chills for a couple of days last week because I was helping my mom install her dog harnesses in the back of her SUV (wearing a tshirt because it wasnt really that cold out) and I stepped back into the front of her other SUV (which was still covered in 2 feet of snow). Instant frozen back for at least 2 days. 😐 6y
