Great! I wonder what his documentation is like, if he does any.

There's also a lot that don't.
Most of the colleagues at my work are sort of friends and I always had
good contact with the patients.

Difficult to read at best, nonexistent at worst. Which reminds me, I had
meant to mention that his latest svn commits were done improperly. <sigh>

That's good. And yes, it is - I've known people who would frequently
make themselves physically ill because they worried about things so
much. I'm talking ill enough to not be able to leave the house. Ever.

It happened to me last year. A situation at work got me
extremely upset and worried. I lost a lot of sleep over it,
my blood pressure shot up to 240/120! I wound up in ER, had
to take nitro glycerin and morphine. The high BP caused a
kydney stone (one that I must have been carrying for a few
years) to break loose and lodge in my ureter, doc was
concerned about sepsis). Had to have emergency surgery to
have it removed (I was pissing what looked like grape juice
for two weeks). The high BP also caused a rupture in my
right retina, and more emergency surgery (I still have blood
clots in my right eye). I have learned to take things easier
now. I have to be very careful about getting worked up. I
take pharms for the BP, but it's always a bit too high...

I was partially thinking about hypertension and related issues - so sorry
to hear you went through that, it's not fun to do (I've not done it
myself, but I have family who has).

I’m writing configuration documents ATM so I had better make them
comprehensible, after all I’ve said about the current documentation.

That would probably be a good idea.
