"Te quedan tus maravillosos recuerdos", me decía la gente más tarde, como si los recuerdos trajeran consuelo. No lo traen. Los recuerdos son por definición del pasado, de lo que ya no está. Los recuerdos son las cosas que ya no quieres recordar". Joan Didion, "Noches azules"
"It was the silence of those I considered friends and trusted colleagues, that hurts to this day"
If you see #sexualassault in #surgery, speak up. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
Didion: "That was the year, my twenty-eighth, when I was discovering that not all of the promises would be kept, that some things are in fact irrevocable and that it had counted after all, every evasion and every procrastination, every mistake, every word, all of it."
