Brian -
I haven’t talked to you for a decade or more (being now out of practice) but thought I would tell you that I read your musings regularly. I send some of them to my daughter, the medical student, as educational.

Thank you for your creativity. I can write medical prose but not any kind of poetry.

We’re only Human … if that’s the worst mistake you’ve ever made, I’d say that’s pretty amazing, considering what you do.

Thanks for your post about capitalism and health care. It is good to read a PA’s blog that puts the blame for our failed health care system on the for profit system.

You must be very proud of her. We’d like to meet her sometime.

Does the dog see bacon ? Or (hopefully) another litter mate ? ….

This was a very real and compassionate treatment of this subject. Few people have the perspective a pediatrician brings. I just read this in an old episode of JAAPA, and I was speechless for quite some time. This really touched me.

Comment on A runner’s legs by Art Drescher

As another former runner, track and cross country coach, and longtime track official, I also feel the pain. In fact, as I was standing in line at the bank today, the gentleman in front knew the family who lost a son watching for his father to finish. The Mom and another child were also injured. Suddenly it seemed even more real. Thank you for sharing your thoughts so well. I remember some of those times when you did break the tape, totally spent. Great memories along with the times I was fortunate to break the tape as well.
This afternoon when I was timing a track meet, I turned to the young high school math teacher and told her I just realized that the last competitive races I ran in college were 50 years ago. I’m thankful I can still enjoy the sport from the sideline and be part of the experience.

Kathy, yes it was me (tom), and we are so very fortunate to continue on together since grade school.

It’d be nice to “hear” from you … td.

I enjoyed reading your blogs, Brian. If Tom was your companion on this trip, it makes me smile to think the two of you are still pals.
