I can't imagine walking into Smith's and seeing a stack of books with my name on. Worse yet, I can't imagine walking into Smith's a year from now and seeing my book in the 'bargain books' section. Still, to get a book - any book - published is quite a feat, and you should feel very proud of yourself. A question, though - how do you balance patient's privacy issues with telling a funny or poignant story ? Do you think a patient who is reading your book and thinking 'Oh, that was me he's talking about' has a right to feel violated, or do you change the details so much that nobody could ever figure that out ? We transported a woman yesterday who ran over herself with her own car (don't ask), which is a pretty silly thing to do. I imagine that if she read about even the vague details, she'd be offended that people were having a chuckle at her lapse in judgement. It's such a thorny area - how do you work around it ?
