Retired healthcare writer. Science ally. It was a privilege to work with physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and write about their science-based, lifesaving work. Bluesky? Healthcare, books, art, Dad jokes and, of course, cat photos.

Tip: A meteor streaks through the sky but burns up before landing.

A meteorite doesn’t burn all the way up and so hits the ground somewhere.

Think of the ITE on β€œmeteorite” as standing for I Touch Earth.

I will never forget what it was like working as an ICU physician during the pandemic. There were many days that I went back to my hotel crying because of the patients we lost.

I hate this so much.
