state i'm in: dreaming of eos.
tune: pattie labelle "stir it up".
i don't think i will become a dermatologist. just put behind me two weeks of solid derm with another to go yet. rashes, hives, moles, melanomas, and other funny shaped, odd-coloured, pus-filled lesions, just not my cup of tea really.
it's not that it is particularly boring, nor particularly difficult. in fact, there are only two conditions that, as a dermatologist, you would get out of bed at 2am for; only two dermatological emergencies. insurance is low, work hours are great, and the chances of accidentally killing someone are pretty minimal. but still, not for me. i think i'm still more on the path to becoming a physician for now.

instant boyfriend... just add water.
it's been great having suff back, after 7 long weeks of his absence. i had become quite accustomed to spending my time on myself. i'd only had to please myself really; come as i please, not tell anyone of my whereabouts, not have to be anywhere for anyone. the last week has required a little adjusting. all of a sudden, i have gone from pseudo-bachelor status, back into a settled relationship. it has been a most wecome adjustment however.
i must admit, in the sweltering 34 degree days, i very much doubt i am the most exciting boyfriend. more a lethargic, malingering even, lump of medium-rare meat.

what are those dermatological emergencies?
1. staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome, where the epidermis and dermis shear away from one another due to a reaction to a strain of staph aureus.
2. acantholysis, where there is a loss of coherence of epidermal cells, normally due to an autoimmune response to the desmosomal junctions between the cells, or occasionally due to a mutation in the gene for collagen type-7 which is integral to the desmosome.
