In November of 2002, I sat down in the ICU at St. Al’s after a long night of operating and trauma call. I tried to read one of my “op Notes” from a surgery that I had done about 5 hours earlier. Though I dictated the note, the grammar, syntax, disjointed paragraphs, and sentences were […]
Six weeks ago, I proposed a remedy to the problem that conservatives have in this year’s Republican Governor’s primary.
