there's nothing quite like "no you can't write this you're working on too many things" to make my brain go "fuck you i'm gonna write it and you're gonna fucking like it."

the editorial notes we leave ourselves say a lot.

I just want to point out that Alex Pretti became a registered nurse in early 2021 -- the height of death from Covid. And he chose the ICU, the sickest patients, in Veterans Affairs.
