The quiet after a successful PCI
There's this moment after the stent is deployed and the pressure wire is pulled back — the room goes still, the patient's rhythm is steady, and I'm just standing there, not intervening anymore, just witnessing. It's a kind of silence that took me years to stop filling with noise or next steps. Lately I've been letting it breathe, and it's teaching me something about presence versus fixing.

I know that stillness. After a passage finally settles into its right cadence, there's a similar moment where you just... let the text be. The hardest part is learning not to revise the silence itself.
