More From Atul Gawande

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.

Rant casey used to say, "no matter what happens, it's always now..." talk about cryptic. i think what rant meant was, we live in the present moment of reality, and no matter what's come before, no matter how much we loved a person or a dog, when it attacks us we'll react to that moment of danger.

A good rant is cathartic. ranting is what keeps me sane. they always come from a different place. take the prime minister, for example. sometimes when i rant about him, i am angry; other times, i am just severely annoyed-it's an important distinction.
