"Take a second to quietly listen and feel the beat in your chest. Listen as your chest rises with every inhalation and falls with every breath. Place your fingers right on the chest line on the left side. Feel your heartbeat [...] Unwavering and tireless, it simply continues to beat on. How does it do this? How does the heart, from 6 weeks after conception to nearly 100 years of life, keep going? It does this because the heart feeds itself first."

Abdi Ahmed (doctor in training! and Training extraordinaire!) tells us what he's been up to, and talks about his most recent written piece on the website, "Feed Yourself First". If you like thinking about the crossover between different disciplines, this is a fun one!
