Conversations lawyers don't have with their families

Yesterday was our family reunion. I was late because rounds that morning had been particularly exciting.

Using broad strokes, I explained some of what had gone on to make me take 6 hours instead of the usual 1.5.

"and one patient was my own fault - she was an adorable newborn who I just couldn't put down"

My cousin looked at me, horrified. Then she said, "oh crap, when you first said that, I thought you meant like a vet and I couldn't understand why you'd put a cute baby to sleep forever, doctors aren't supposed to do that"
