… Not “seen as beautiful”; but “beautiful, seen.”
I am a sinner, and no kind of saint. But I am Catholic.
I am an emergency physician.
I reject your call to leave emergency medicine because of my beliefs.
Can I work in my ER?
Yes. I CAN.
And though I am not a citizen of Massachusetts, I hope dearly that the voters there give you what you deserve for your political positions, and your apparent religious bigotry…
Early retirement.
but we can all help.
Join me.
Happy New Year, all!
Those of us who are here… have not forgotten.
In Flanders Field
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
– John McRae
Nor do we forget those who just joined you.
