It’s great being home, of course. But a little part of me misses the constant stream of nurses and doctors coming to take my temperature, blood pressure, give me meds, examine me — — oh, and the medical students! I actually told my doctors I was available for medical trainee examinations, I enjoyed their attention so much. McDreamies, guys, and gals alike…

Hey ho, at least I’ve had some great heroine and heroine stories to read this week, which has been no small compensation.

Hope you enjoy them too!
