It's wonderful knowing that caring, personally caring physicians are still out there. I just hope they can survive what's coming. (I wouldn't be surprised if an underground medical industry grew up on just such a basis, if things continue as they are.)
So glad for your experience. Hope your baby is doing well.
You know, I’m not a philosopher and don’t have the best phrasology, but it seems to me that change is a the heartbeat of life. Nothing ever stays as it always was. Now, we’re living a period of rapid change. In the words of Mitt Romney, “It turns out that Barack 0bama goes downhill faster than Lindsay Vonn.” OK, how far down? There are going to be some of us on the trenchlines, there always are. I’m not a visionary or a leader, but I *will* be there to provide logistic and tactical support to those who are. And you will do the same. And eventually, it will get better simply because beyond a certain point, the patriots will not let it get worse.
Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plow, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom—go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!

A nice story. I hope your daughter is continuing well on her recovery. Sounds like she’s been through a lot. About 52 years ago, Dr. Reedy came to our house to throw me in the bathtub and run tepid (to me ice-cold) water to bring my skyrocketing fever down. I’ll never forget it; I didn’t want to get in, but she “put” me in. It’s nice to know there are a few doctors like that around today as well!
