芬芳巧克力

今天下午睡醒了，晚上终于不用上班了，觉得有大把的时间可以挥霍，心情不由大好。

小雨刚停，湿漉漉的空气，水灵灵的树叶，让人觉得非常滋润。沿着小河散步，一只鸬鹚一动不动地站在河中央的石头上，默然地看着鸭子们成群结队，热热闹闹地走过。一排大雁从头上掠过，秋天，快要来了。

忽然发现了一个很小的木屋子，说是bakery，不由得觉得饥肠辘辘，推门进去，一股甜香扑面而来。小屋里一半是买新鲜的面包曲奇甜圈圈，另一半，是巧克力的天堂。

各种各样颜色的圆滚滚的truffle巧克力球排着队伍，分外诱人。边上还有各种各样的礼盒，可以自己选择组合，然后装进漂亮的盒子，作为一份最甜蜜的礼物。短短的一条柜台，琳琅满目，让人流连忘返。小店里还卖咖啡豆，角落里有古色古香的长桌和长椅周到地放供客人品尝的特色咖啡。挑完巧克力，外面又下雨了，我就坐下来，倒了咖啡慢慢地喝着。

店是一对母女开的，女儿长得非常好看，金色的头发整整齐齐梳在脑后，她告诉我她在当地大学读统计，课余过来帮助母亲。母亲也是清爽麻利的样子，让人想起朱丽叶比诺什的电影“巧克力”里面的母女。

我很喜欢吃巧克力，特别是忙碌，心情不好，天气寒冷的时候，各种口味的巧克力，给我带来不同的快乐。女人对于巧克力，似乎天生有种精神上的眷恋。曾经梦想死了以后，能够把骨灰装进曾经装过巧克力的木盒子里，从此永远沐浴着巧克力的芬芳。

雨停了，咖啡也快喝完了，我站起来跟母女道别。关门的时候，门铃叮叮当当响得很清脆，和口齿中咖啡的余香一起，回味无穷。

To Angelboy: anyone comes through ER, they will see triage nurse first, according to the urgency, divided to 1. shock room, there is no waiting time for those going to shock room, usually are true emergency, such as pt's vital signs are not stable, Asthma attack, heart attack or Gun shot wound, overdose,etc. Sometime, when ambulance is on the way to hospital, doctors and nurses are notified ahead of time, "46yr pt suffered roll over car accident and CPR in progress, 5 minutes away from hospital...", all personnel will stand-by in the shock room waiting for pt's arrival. 2. Check room, for those less life threatenning situations, such as: chest pain, fever, HTN urgency, lacerations,seizure etc. more stable pts. 3. urgent care, non life threatening situations, such as cough, cold, urinary tract infection, emergency contraceptice, STD, etc. So, most pts are not true emergence, they will have to wait for a while, usually there are only 1-3 physicians working in ER depending on how big the hospital is. Everyone should have a PCP, their pages are on 24/7, you should talk to your PCP first, then decide if you need to go to ER or f/u in clinic next day. It is very important that you establish the relationship with a PCP by doing yearly check up so forth, so you know who to call when you need help. Another point, in this country, ER are abused by a lots of non-insured pts, drug seekers, etc, it is a very complicated place.

落花没有买巧克力吃？

[Angelboy]

落花医生有空的时候，能不能介绍一下ER病人接受治疗的先后问题，也就是说，有无一个具体的打分或评估指标来决定每一个自己走进或救护车拉来病人的等待时间。经常听到投诉，国内来北美的，尤其新来的都有感觉，不舒服能挺就挺一下，实在受不了，才看急诊，但往往等待数小时才见到医生，也许几分钟就给打发了，挺恼火的，觉得还不如国内的急诊服务。在此代大家先谢拉。

好诱人的巧克力！比利时的巧克力truffle这也是我的soul food，就是不大容易买到正宗的.

我小时候很喜欢吃巧克力的，于是吃了很多，尤其是所谓的酒心巧克力。然后就吃伤了。现在是看见巧克力味的东西就躲。少了一样爱吃的东西，不过也少了一种可能发胖的途径。扯平了，呵呵。

看了你的文章我赶快去拿了颗巧克力吃。:-）

[从A到Z]

闻着巧克力味就过来了我，很浪漫的文章。巧克力多香啊，对有些怕胖不敢吃的女孩子真是遗憾。情人节可以没有玫瑰，一定要有巧克力
