I’ve been listening to kids more lately. Maybe it’s because I’ve been teaching, but I don’t mean just listening to them literally — their higher-pitched voices and inflections of pop culture, which sound like a dead language to me. The content of their speech is what I’m hearing, perhaps for the first time. Have you ever met one of those not-so-rare elementary-aged philosophers? One of my students wrote, “happy is where the sun likes my future.” I do not think I could write a line so poignant if you asked me to. In dark clouds of jealousy, I feel relieved that my extra years have at least gifted me the executive function to weld together a greater number of mediocre sentences, and then I feel embarrassed for competing with an elementary schooler.

As medical students, we often witness the devastating effects of a broken health care system on our patients. Recently, one of us was caring for a young patient on Medicaid in the hospital who had been suffering from debilitating pain for over a year. For months, she struggled to identify in-network providers, bouncing from waitlist to waitlist for various specialists, growing increasingly frustrated by her inability to get appropriate care. When she was often referred to a new doctor or ordered a new diagnostic test, her Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) would inform her that the doctor was out-of-network or that the test was not covered, delaying her diagnosis and prolonging her suffering. She was ultimately diagnosed with cancer and required surgery for treatment. While she was thankfully able to receive this life-saving care, the impediments from her Medicaid MCO prolonged her pain, incurred significant health care costs and could have allowed her cancer to spread, necessitating extensive treatment and risking possible death.

Broken up into three words, “Tae” for foot or to step on, “Kwon” for fight or fist, and “Do” for way or discipline, taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art. Taekwondo has origins in Korea’s Three-Kingdom era, during which the Hwarang, or warriors of the Silla period, practiced Taekkyon, translating to “foot-hand.” It additionally draws from “Subak” or “Taekkyon,” describing the defense martial arts in the ancient kingdom of Koguryo practiced by the Sunbae. This was an elite warrior corps of this time period.

Even though the midterm elections are still more than six months away, many candidates have been campaigning for several months already. This long, dragged-out election season is in large part due to a peculiarity in our system — the primary election.

Colors were everywhere. Green. Yellow. Red. All swirling around us in the tiny rickshaw as we tried to beat the early morning rush of the day’s festivities. The street was already crowded, lined with decorations and “Happy Holi” banners stained with colored powder. Music blasted from somewhere down the road, loud enough to drown out the driver’s constant honking as he tried to squeeze past people dancing in the middle of the street.

On the opening night of Project Hail Mary, adapted from the Andy Weir novel of the same name, Ryan Gosling, its lead, said this about movie theaters to his packed audience: “It’s not your job to keep them open — it’s our job to make things that make it worth you coming out.” Gosling’s claims are not completely unfounded in regards to Project Hail Mary; it has surpassed box office expectations. After seeing the film, I am baffled that this is what people want.
