I was only recently introduced to this blog, so sorry for necro'ing the storyline here by a year and a half. I've been reading like a madwoman the last two days - ever since the first post I stumbled upon... and this has lead to a bleary eyed first thing in the morning peek and more of your writing. As a side effect, I mis-read a bit on this one.... This: 'But no matter, the patient apparently had a swollen foot, and the mental health unit can't treat that ...' Was read as: But no matter, the patient apparently had swallowed a foot, and the mental health unit can't treat that...' Thought I'd she are the giggle with you :)
