AUDIO BOOK 8.0
The second attempt fails too. The resident no longer seems to care what the mother thinks. "Try a different angle," he instructs the intern. "Hold it like this." Each try takes minutes - needle in, stylet out, wait for fluid, stylet in, reposition, stylet out.... Nothing in hole number three. I...

The needle is inches into the child's spine. The intern anxiously yanks out the stylet, hoping for a drip of amber fluid - cerebrospinal fluid - signaling he's tapped the right place. Nothing comes out. The stylet goes back in as he repositions the needle. Again, nothing. The child is moaning....

The five-year old - I wish I knew his name - starts to squirm. "Hold him still!" the resident yells at the mother. She tightens. He places the needle on the skin between two knobby vertebrae in his lower back. I tug on the sleeve of the resident and point to the unopened vial of lidocaine on the...

1.0
To all the students who went to bed crying or woke up screaming. To all those who needed to leave their hearts at the door. Besides medical school, there is probably no other four-year experience - unless it be four year's service in a war - that can so change the cognitive content of one's mind...
