I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I used to "suture for a living", I continue "to live to sew". These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.
“It happened two days ago. I fell off a ladder,” she says, eyes averted.
“What’s happened since?” I ask as I exam the arm laceration, fortunately non-infected.
“Mom’s been sick. Electricity has come and gone with the ice storm.”
“And how’d you take care of this?” I begin to gather supplies.

Too often, women in particular leave their own health to last...though sometimes, there is also more to the story then they want to tell.
