The Pony Ride Chronicle - DMSI v3.5 Journal

[Ampersnd]

Also, I've had:
- A mid 50s colleague semi-try to set me up with a 40-year old colleague; did the whole "are you a single guy/are you married?" first.
- A mid 60s patient say that I have a gorgeous face/that I'm gorgeous on a couple of occasions.
- A 90ish year old patient ask if I'm married, state that she could set me up with her niece, then reneged, stating "she's 70, so maybe that wouldn't work"
All females.

For my patients, I often just sit with them and listen; they normally feel rushed by the others.

Bedside manner is one of the lost aspects of being a doctor, or a nurse, or a PA.  It is helpful not only to understand what the issue is, but to make the patient feel valued as a person, and genuinely cared about by their attending staffer.  That helps in the healing process. 

Amusing stories.  How do women in the age ranges you like respond?

Not really talking to a lot of women in that range at this time, but I think there is marginal improvement.
There are two women on one unit that I visit that I had interacted with

One of them, I matched with on Tinder two years ago, and I have her Instagram. She's been a bit more sassy and always has a quick line to shoot back at me. I think she's probing for congruence, or just flirting. She's changing departments so I'm considering pursuing it.
The other - one I consider genuinely hot - I met at my gym, I got her number, we exchanged texts, then she ghosted when I suggested making plans. When I eventually worked on her unit, she was quiet and never acknowledged me. I I genuinely didn't know if she recognized me (I later learned that she knew who I was).

In another unit, there's this hot asian gal in her early 20s, but she's engaged. She gives me a lot of attention, more than before DMSI.

I impressed some early twenties-women (not in the attractiveness range I would ever consider, but still nice people) at work when I tried out the piano in the break room for the first time.
One of those colleagues had brought her mom to work a week or two ago; she had visited my office cubicle where I have another colleague too; I learned that the mom later asked "WHO was THAT?!" in reference to me haha.

tl;dr: nothing explicit in terms of sexual advances, but there are noticeable signs.
