		<description><![CDATA[&#8217;sometimes 24 hours in a day simply isn&#8217;t enough time if you&#8217;re a medical resident&#8217;

		<description><![CDATA[“Rest if you must, but never quit”
I already posted a similar entry on my other blog, but I wanted to expound a little bit more here.

Passing by one of the nurse stations I notice that they were wearing frowns on their faces and I reminded them that it takes 17 muscles to smile, 43 to frown. She tells me she is once again on extended tour of duty.
