I thought it would be fun to practice this skill on a novel scenario. Even better if its something apparently nobody has ever solved or published resources for, but that could really help a vulnerable population if such a resource existed.

> Read More: Long Trains, Yellow Jackets, & AnesthesiaIt still feels kind of unreal. After almost six years of waiting, innumerable sacrifices, and reckless leaps through the burning, acid-soaked hoop that is the American healthcare industry, I have finally, successfully received transition surgery. And you know what? It was still worth every second of it. I’d like to do a write up on the experience at some point, to help folks who come after me through the process.
