I found a news story in the Big City Paper about what Dr. Liver must have been up to yesterday. Pennsylvania physicians rally for malpractice relief Posted on Tue, Apr. 29, 2003 By Karl Stark, Marian Uhlman and Linda Loyd Inquirer Staff Writers Nearly 2,000 doctors, nurses and their supporters took off work yesterday and…
I was just saying where my doctor disappeared to yesterday. No opinions of my own were voiced in that entry. Really. Honestly. Cross my heart and hope to die. As I told MRG, something is wrong when a surgeon has to pay in excess of $180,000 in annual malpractice insurance and another is turned down…

Some poor dumb arachnid apparently found its way into our kitchen from the great outdoors, and Kitten, attracted by the motion of something small and black on the floor, had to investigate.

OK, I got a bee in my bonnet a couple of weeks ago. My car, a Ford Escort, isn’t that old, but isn’t that new anymore either. I’ve recently had to start shelling out some medium sized bucks to keep the car in repair. New tires, a new headlight casing … that sort of thing….
