Wow! Can you believe it's been a whole year since I started this crazy thing?
From those who have been reading since August 8, 2009 to those who just started reading today--thank you. Getting these thoughts out of my head and into these stories seals their places in my heart forever. I find myself not wanting to forget things and people and situations and lessons. This has been a joyful place to keep them--I'm so glad this medium exists and that you've been there for the ride.
As corny as it might sound, "Reflections of a Grady Doctor" has been a therapeutic, productive, and important journey for me. It feels like a celebration of public hospitals and the indigent patient population, clinician-educators, health care providers, mommy-hood, wife-hood, family-hood, friendship, spirituality, and everything each teaches me along the way. The fact that anyone other than me (and my parents) reads this is touching. . . . and even more, it's like a loving punctuation mark on the end of every sentence I type.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for feeling. :)
