Dear Beth, I promise to go back to the gym. I really do enjoy it, but life has been busy lately. I promise to try to eat better, and to do whatever I can to be around for you. I want to be there for your high school graduation and your college commencement. I plan… Continue reading I promise
Wilson Greatbatch
The other night I transferred a patient from Suburban Children's to Big City Trauma Center. At 15 years old he was having trouble with his implanted pacemaker.

We wished for a good thundershower to wash the air and replace it with ozone. We never got one. It did look kind… Continue reading Rose colored glasses
Through the eyes of a child
Beth and I spent some time in Boston's Public Garden and the Back Bay today. She loved these flowers. I find them very Seuss-ian. We strolled down Boylston Street looking for lunch. Boylston is one of Boston's fanciest shopping districts; I see expensive stores and well-dressed crowds. Beth stopped suddenly and pointed up. "Look, look… Continue reading Through the eyes of a child
