We watched this helicopter take off and then land again at Strong Memorial Hospital. They call it the Mercy Flight and they scoop up critically injured people and whisk them to the rooftop of the Emergency Building. The guy in the bed next to Bill, who we were visiting in his temporary ICU room, was groaning and clearly not happy with his new, brain damaged condition as a result of a motorcycle accident. And Bill called the nurse in the middle of the night when a patient near him went blue. This place is not for the faint of heart. Bill had a tumor removed and a lung shortened in the process. He’s optimistic and ready to walk out of there on Wednesday. So many things can go wrong with the human body and most of them eventually do.

I have realized that when Margaret X is not playing I lose touch with a swath of people.
