Just a warning - I have been informed by the editors at Pulse (an online medical humanities site/organization that puts out emails at the end of every week that I really enjoy) that they are going to "publish" my ""poem"" (yes, that needs 2 sets of quotes) in the next few weeks, probably on 8/15 or 9/5. So, if you don't want to see it, unsubscribe now if you already subscribe to Pulse. If you don't subscribe (it's free), I would heartily recommend doing so after 9/5, when it should be safe. You may want to warn your unsuspecting friends and colleagues, too.
