Yesterday , an anesthesiologist I know passed away.
Cardiac arrest. I won't get into the details.
Anyways I met younger professionals and the look on their faces was something, because they pictured me as older.
It was funny but also interesting. It reminded me of this

When I say I am old, people underestimate my words.
I rarely talk about it but at the beginning of medical school I was very much told that I am likely to not make it to graduation, being born with a heart defect. The prognosis was partly speculation but also significant enough to be taken seriously.
And I am now 35, and I look around 30 or bit less because of my celiac disease, life style and many reasons. I still struggle with the symptoms when something else is going on , though they don't entirely disable me.
That's quite something isn't it? I can't decide though if it is a good or a bad thing. Maybe neither. You get tired of being the one left behind.
I have survived a lot in 4 decades short of 5 years. I am old in many ways.
