I know this isn't relevant to this particular posting, but wanted to say I finally started reading your book today and I love the updates you've added to many of the original postings. Your blog inspired me to take up nursing (veterinary though, not human, I couldn't do that) and the story on page 90 reminded me of how similar human and animal nursing can be as a large part of our job is to look after the patient and it's owners as a package deal. We get all sorts in at work just like you do, some want to lick us to death, some want to eat our faces and some are totally unresponsive. Bit like humans really! Anyway, just wanted to say keep up the blog, it has become an indispensible (sp?) part of my morning routine to check in and see what you've been up to now.
