I am a wife, mommy, and ER doctor, sometimes all at once and sometimes one at a time.
I think there are very few places where one gets a full view and breadth of society. I think the ER is one of them. Emergencies (or urgencies, or sometimes just plain drama) happen to everyone no matter age, race, sex, religion, or socio economic status. And they don’t happen at scheduled intervals either. Last […]
MoreI work in the Emergency Room, I spent four years training in one of the busiest ERs in the country, one that use to be known as the “Knife and Gun Club”. I see and take care of and treat emergencies on a daily basis at work. I really enjoy emergencies, I don’t think I’m […]
MoreDear Sir- I’m sure this wasn’t your dream profession when you were little. It may be something you are doing in-between jobs, it may be something to pay the bills, or it’s just a job that needs to get done and you happen to be the one to do it. At times I bet you […]
MoreSome people have the ability to learn languages and pick up the sounds, nuances, and all that goes into speaking and understanding a language fairly easily.

MoreIn the ER I interact with people from all different walks of life. I share in some of their greatest joys and also in some of their hardest and darkest hours. And everything in between. And in that I also see the dirt and grim and yuckiness that most keep hidden. A lot of that […]
MoreWhen we bought our house 2 years ago I was excited that we were near the creek. We have used the bike path by it often for walks, runs and bike rides. We have a couple areas that we like to walk down to to throw rocks and sticks in. (what boy doesn’t like throwing […]
MoreSo I did it! I completed my first triathalon this past weekend, and as they warned up in the clinics that I went to, I’m hooked. I have already started looking at triathlons for next summer and planning out what I will do differently and better next time. Granted when I was out in the […]
MoreI have never been good at waiting. I think that’s part of why I like Emergency Medicine. There is no waiting, it is always open and there are almost always people to be seen. And I don’t have to sit around and wait for results, I can go see a few more people and get […]
MoreYes we were. We were that family that people got frustrated at, that people talked bad about, that made people groan. And really there was nothing we could do about it. It started innocently enough. We had the opportunity to go camping as a family for the first time this past weekend with some good […]
