"The Wall" is the name of an album, too. The song name is "Comfortably Numb"

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
There'll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Tonight VH1 Classic ran a Pink Floyd concert - of course, Comfortably
Numb was one of the songs. Love their music!  I would like to get a
DVD of thier movie, "The Wall".  It is about 24 years old, as my hubby
and I saw it just after we were married.

Interviews are just a hard process.  It's not exactly that people look
good on paper, and then you reject them when you interview them.  The
last time I was hiring someone, I interviewed over a dozen people.

It's not so much that they looked good on paper, but I couldn't tell
enough about their qualifications from their resumes, so I had to ask
them specific questions directly so that I could rate them uniformly
according to the criteria I prepared for the position.  I was looking
for a project leader though, so I was more careful about it than I
usually am.

The most thoroughly garbled job interview I ever had was the time I
ran over a piece of scrap metal on the way to the interview.  One of
my front tires blew out, so rapidly that I bent my wheel rim when it
hit the ground.  I was on the Interstate highway, going about 60 miles
per hour at the time.  It was fortunate that I had both hands on the
steering wheel, as the car fishtailed and almost rolled over.

I had had another flat tire about an hour earlier, so I didn't have a
spare tire available.  I rolled the blown-out tire up an exit ramp,
and a passer-by stopped and gave me a ride to a tire shop, where I had
the wheel straightened out and bought a new tire.  I called my job
interview site from the tire shop, explaining why I was going to be
late.

When I finally reached the prospective employer, an hour late, I was
still shaky from the near-death experience, having had time to realize
what almost happened.  I couldn't focus during the interview, and
didn't realize until I was halfway home afterwards that I had
forgotten to give them the resume' I had taken along with me.  I never
heard anything back from the prospective employer.

If you didn't get the job, then he probably deserved it. ;-)

Try doctor's not only can't they write legibly or dictate letters which
make sense (My personal favourite concerned a doctor who dictated that
the patient "had ankle pain of sudden onset, which continued to get
worse until she had a hysterectomy"- I know everything's supposed to
head south after 40 but that's a bit much!)

Also they shouldn't be allowed near anything more complicated than a
pencil...I had one ask me which way the document went in a fax machine,
which I suppose is reasonable but then he's standing at the machine
looking at the buttons and he asked me how to start the machine
"Pressing the big button marked "start" should do it" I replied.

One of our radiologists offered me a cup of coffee once and I expected
him to get someone else to do it! When he started filling the kettle I
almost said "Are you sure you know what you're doing?"

I like to think it's because they are thinking about their patients all
the time....through with some of them it's more likely to be their golf
score
