Urgent care is a different world from normal family practice. It goes on every day of the week. You learn that people's illnesses are not limited to banker's hours. I think back on the days when I worked a Monday to Friday schedule like Veronica, with hospital calls before and after office hours. I don't miss it. This is so much more interesting, and if you can take care of someone right away, a lot of times they never have to go to the hospital. That seems ideal to me.
OTOH, it means sometimes I have to spend Sunday in the trenches, like today. Oh well, if it will help someone, then it's worth it. Cheers to Sundays.

Thank you for your dedication, Doc. Most folks rarely if ever consider what that "M.D." after your name does to your personal life. Sounds like you have a "healer's heart", and I'm glad to hear it.
ReplyDeleteOn a different note - I missed the "freebie" window for "Treating Murder", but the 54-page teaser grabbed me enough that I just bought the book on Smashwords. I'm an ex-cop, ex-EMT, and a dear friend is in the secondary progressive stage of MS, after several years in relapsing remitting.
I'll post reviews in the appropriate places when I finish the book. :-)
Blessings,
Jim
Thanks. Sounds like you have spent plenty of your own time serving others. :-)
DeleteReviews posted on Smashwords & Goodreads... anywhere else I can post? Seems to me the more interest and encouragement I help generate, the sooner we'll see the rest of "Dead Wrong". :-)
