Zen and Commuting by Bike/Rail

Posted on March 19, 2014July 23, 2018 by ctidev

My kids were so excited about St. Patrick’s day that they slept in green pajamas. When I asked my son why, he matter of fact stated so that he would not get pinched when he woke up. That was my inspiration for choosing a green jersey and going green today by bike/rail commuting to and from work.

After loading up my bike with lights, lunch, water, and a change of clothes, I was off in the dark drizzly morning pounding out a rhythm on my pedals. A nice change from the brake and accelerator pedals of my car. It was quiet and fresh in my neighborhood and full of the morning aromas, both good (the pastry shop down the street) and bad (urban chickens??). It is urban riding after all.

My commute took me from the Path to the BeltLine and on to the Midtown MARTA station via 10th street. One of the best urban improvements Atlanta has made recently is the BeltLine. It made for a car free traverse across a dense part of the city without traffic lights or potholes. Upon arrival to the MARTA station I was pleasantly surprised to see a friend heading to the airport and had the chance to help her with her Breeze card reload. Within five minutes the Northbound train arrived, relatively full, and we were off to the medical center station. (BTW, a big shout out to MARTA for allowing bikes on their trains, thank you!).

One of the nice aspects of going green by bike riding is that you really experience your surroundings. I mentioned the aromas earlier, but you also keenly notice the temperature and air quality. Getting off the train at the medical center I was aware of how much cooler it was and how much more rain was falling. Fortunately it was a quick zip to my office from there. After a brief stretch of the legs and change of clothes I was ready to start the day.

About the day, I had more energy and a more cheerful outlook with regard to my commute home. I was not dreading the stationary parking lot on the highway but looking forward to using public transportation again and being back on the bike. I shared my experience with my patients and staff and who knows, maybe I even inspired someone else to do the same thing.

So on the way back MARTA was an easy ride, I took special pleasure in whizzing by the cars doing the slow crawl on 400. The ride was chilly, so my hands were cold when I got home, but I was immediately warmed up by my enthusiastic kids welcoming me at the door. They asked if I got pinched today. I showed them my green jersey telling them that I also felt ‘green’ inside because of my bike/rail commute. In fact I felt so good and so inspired I plan on going green again soon.

Thanks for reading. -FRN

Zen and the Art of Eyelid Surgery

Posted on September 20, 2013March 30, 2018 by ctidev

This post on eyelid surgery techniques was written while I attended the 2013 EuroMediCom aesthetic medicine meeting in Monte Carlo. I hope my readers find the topic interesting and relevant.

Some procedures really take an extra gentle touch; eyelid surgery is one of those procedures. Gentle not only in the technical execution, but also in the planning. Gentle planning and gentle technique take patience and to some degree an artistic view. By ‘gentle planning’, I mean setting a goal for eyelid surgery that will result in a refreshed and natural appearance that is not overdone. This should result in a look that is a younger version of yourself as opposed to severe or over pulled. By ‘gentle technique’, I mean performing the actual procedure in such a way that the eyelids are handled delicately, minimizing trauma and unnecessary injury. Doing so minimizes bruising and swelling, decreases recovery time and allows the patient to resume normal activities sooner.

Thank you for reading.
