excerpt from Drawing Blood
I spent a lot of time thinking about blood during my training years—hoping I could get enough of it, wondering which vein would yield the best supply of it, wishing the patients had more of it, calling the blood bank for a bag of it. I cushioned samples of it in my sweaty palm, palpated arteries for the pulse of it, auscultated hearts for the beat of it.
