Hi, I'm Yi-Hsiang
Cardiac Surgeon · Curious About the World
I open hearts at Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital during the day and write about my inner thoughts at night. Here you'll find stories from the operating room, reflections from 3 AM, and things I've thought about for a long time.
Occasionally, I write about how AI is changing my daily life, and sometimes it's just nonsense. It's not a groundbreaking blog—but if you're also thinking about how to live the life you want, you might find something relatable.

Weekly Report #008: My Whole Life is an Act
2026-03-15
Alone in a bar late at night, I felt life was meaningless. Two days later, my girlfriend came back for yakiniku, and I felt it was good to be alive. Then I realized I've been acting all along.
Weekly Report #007: The Demeanor of a Great General
2026-03-08
First time sewing a major blood vessel without leaks, I was praised for my 'demeanor of a great general.' Then I realized that not being nervous itself is growth, and it's okay to show joy. Three wells might be the same well.
Weekly Report #006: The 'Warm Doctor' Persona Doesn't Fit Me
2026-03-01
I gave up the graduate school subsidy, was a DJ in front of friends for the first time, and then realized the 'warm doctor' persona was too narrow.

In my 30s, still having my birthday candles blown out by friends. Although I knew it was coming, I played along. Seeing everyone laughing so hard brought me back to high school. I hope no matter how old I get, I'll still be that childish person. #murmur
