Will it make my writing legible? Anymore I go back and look at my own notes wondering what the hell words I supposed I was writing down.

No it will not. However, no writing cramps with fountain pens and they do change your handwriting somewhat due to the nib shape and the way you have to hold them.

I had one. Another extravagant gift. I think I actually gave it away. Pens don’t do it for me.

[bachophile]

Nor watches. I don’t have many status items.

That's fair. I personally couldn't give a shit about the pageantry of them. I need pens that damn work. Instead of sitting down to write long letters or notes or something, I write short notes about 50 times a day. So my main pen's a Vanishing Point.

Attached to my wallet, though, is a Kaweco Lilliput. Very small, aluminum, impossible to leak. Didn't even cost $50.

I've never had an expensive pen - I figured it would get lost.

Ditto watches. I got a Raymond Weil as a gift once. Never wear it.

Well, you're a doc. C'mon, you should have one.

True story...

Wife and I went out to a new restaurant last week. As we were seated, she looked at me and said, "The food must be good, I recognized three doctors as we walked to the table".

You are a doctor, a heart surgeon; you don't need status items in today's society.

[George K]

@Axtremus he's not a heart surgeon. He deals with boobs and guts.

[bachophile]

Yea. Just sewage and fat. Very unglamorous

[Mik]

Yeah, well, let it back up and see what happens.
