My Sage Advice

Wow, sorry for the short, unplanned hiatus. Weekend was a blur. Spent most of last week in the hospital. Highlights were a patient with a liver three times the normal size and another with a very, very, VERY rare form of eye cancer. Stranger than fiction!

Was a good night! And now, since I can tell you're loving the photos, here's a collage I'm titling "A Lost Bet":
