The Nocturnists · Burn the Map with David Elkin, MD · 16 Nov 2021 podcast

Your looks like you love the outdoors and he brightens and he starts to make more eye contact and he says, Yeah, I love the outdoors.

I love being outside, I love camping, I love hunting, fishing, I just want to get back out there.

And I said, you know, I really like camping too.

And it reminds me of how you light a fire.

In the woods.

And Karen looks at me and she's kind of quizzical like, What's going on here?

And frankly, I'm bewildered too, because I'm operating on intuition at this point.

And I say, you know, when you start a fire, you can't just start a log.

You can't light a flog on fire.

You've got to start with something really small.

So you start with little scraps of paper, little dried leaves, then you build up to twigs, some kindling.

The bigger stuff, and then gradually you can get the log on fire.

That's what your leg reminds me of.

And he beams and he says, Exactly, that's exactly what it's like.

He said, You know, the doctors are saying I'll never walk again.

But if I can do this and he points to his leg.

Then

Who knows what I'll be able to accomplish?

I know it's gonna take a long time.

I know I may never get all the use of my legs back.
