life.

i was about to have dinner, when i got a message from an old co-worker of mine about a friend who is now in coma. i called him back immediately, and found out that she and her boyfriend went to boston to snowboard.

i was in shock. i couldn't believe what i heard. memories of her just flashed through me like a slideshow. it's so hard to imagine her being in that state. we may not be that close, but memories are there.

somehow i still can't imagine how sudden a life could be. although i have experienced it on the floor (hospital), encountering patients who are very much alert, few days after that they are just spiraling down. then again, i have elderly patients. it's just so hard to imagine someone my age in a critical condition. i guess, this just proves that i really can't work for pediatrics.

it's just surreal. life, sometimes, could be so surreal.

i just pray for her and her family, to have the courage during this trying times.
