I’ve got a corn on my right middle finger, people. From. Writing. A corn from working three months at a Pediatric ICU. I didn’t get a corn when I started writing at 4 years old. I didn’t get a corn when my mum made me copy all those exercise books with the irregular drawn margins and the ugly letters in elementary. I didn’t get a corn in high school from writing 18 pages on Goethe’s Faust. Neither did I get a corn from writing hundreds of letters to my friends who where 1000 miles away. I did not get a corn in med school, even! But I’ve got one now. On the beautiful, slim, perfect middle finger of my right hand. How do I make it go away? Ideas, anyone?
And oh, I loved to see Christina’s mouth twitch a little when Bailey announced she was taking over chief residency from Callie. It was a bit like hey, at least some things will be back to normal.

I have no idea. I actually grip the pen in this weird way that most people don’t, so I have a permanent callous on the tip of my middle finger. But it’s not noticeable, so I’ve never done anything about it.
