A patient's recovery (or time of demise) is NOT in our caregiver hands. There is definitely a place in medicine for the "celestial consult" - because sometimes that's the only intervention that actually works.Mrs RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689488911138709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-46776307265634347142012-02-02T10:47:51.051-05:002012-02-02T10:47:51.051-05:00You are such a gift of a doctor!

I'm a whole puzzle and they're just a part of it, which they didn't like but I hope they've rethought that. <br /><br />A doctor who gets that's more to all of it, all of us? Yeah, such a gift.<br /><br />And I can't help but love that Mr. P just quit drinking like that - I hope he's stayed sober.NOLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572754078356812922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-7426597376712582852012-02-02T09:09:28.493-05:002012-02-02T09:09:28.493-05:00Yes.
