Catching up my Stream of Consciousness

Hey Glen, Sorry for the lack of response.  I will make this short as I want to answer - finally.

So to catch you up . . . .

I like nursing but hate hospitals and how we do medicine in this country. 

I continue to work for metropolitan medical group at:

https://www.metropolitan.md/
http://www.redwood.md/
http://www.noeclinic.com/

all the same business really.  I do online work for them, reviewing labs, med request, triage over the phone all online from home or the coffee shop.  Maybe a possibility of doing more with them, managing or whatever.  Working on that.

Talking with http://www.imcworldwide.org/section/join/
also.  They may have something for me, may have to volunteer first, we'll see. Looks good though.

Why all this now you ask?  How long have I been yakking about it Glen?  How long waiting for things to improve with you know who?  That is why - am sick of that state of the state, sick of the state of my state so to speak. Not running but seizing the moment, carpe diem.  In that respect, I do not have much of a choice left.

It feels that my vision is just and that it is 'beyond' many of the people in America.  Does not make me better, far from it.  Am I just more selfish? The mindless consumption and endless buy,debt cycle keeps our great American economy grinding down the rest of those foreigners to keep us on top.  I am sick of that too.

At the heart of much of this?  My stance as a do gooder is in danger because all I am doing is talking. Time to cut that bullshit out so I called IMC.  If that does not work, I'll find someone else that will take me.  Maybe I will apply to an APCD slot with Peace Corps!

So I will end here, sorry for the very much stream of consciousness rant but I know you are laughing.  I miss friends like you Glen, I really do.  I want to travel more to see friends like you and to really feel like I am at least making whatever vain attempts to make the world a more equitable, more sane, less consumptive place.  In the end, it is my only hope for some semblance of sanity and redemption.

I remain as ever,

Your Friend.
