Beats: Writing Lessons of the Health-Care Kind

“The kids always know,” I used to advise my patients. “They may not know precisely what is amiss, but they’ll know when something’s wrong. Better to explain it yourself than have them fighting fictional monsters. Or worse, blaming themselves.” No, you folks aren’t kids.

Five Things Full of Win – Including an Update on My Barista and Teresa Frohock’s News
