    shoulder surgery, dream by jeremy.rutman -- Dec. 20, 2022

    First part of the dream, I was in school at MIT and getting behind in my classes - having not decided clearly what to take I had missed the first few and was panicked. Second part, I was in Jerusalem , there was a phone number of a palestinian terrorist who had been killed, with another number after it you could call to hear a recording of him or something, those numbers being on some piece of paper I had obtained. I went into a red cross (mogen david adom) place located in some ancient building with stone vaulted arch, somebody was late with a key that allowed the first aid guys to get to a drill they needed and the late guy was blaming everyone else. A surgery scene ensued, there was a black woman on a surgery table and it was decided by some of the junior surgical team that they had to take out some section of the shoulder, but they didnt have approval of the senior surgeon so they started the procedure surreptitiously. There was a kind of press that came down on the shoulder which had a template of cross sections of the bones' estimated locations, which you had to match up with where the actual bones were. When things were matched up ok one of the junior surgeons jammed in a very long and painful looking needle into the hollow between bones and the patient cried out in pain, alarming the senior surgeon who came over to see what was going on.
