Physician by Day...Writer by Night. My love of writing grew out of the many meaningful moments I've shared with patients - some joyful, often emotional, always special. My initial essays, appearing in medical journals and literary magazines, allowed me to work through the ups and downs of a medical life.

As an avid reader, I adore a great story. Eventually, I decided to create my own. Not a planful writer, instead my story develops as I write, so I am often as engrossed with what will happen next as if I was reading a book created by someone else. My characters are my favorite part of any story I write. Too bad I will never meet them in real life!

Whenever I am doing something creative, including writing, I tend to work in big bursts of energy and inspiration. I can plod through at other times, but it is more difficult and not always my best work.

I wrote a piece for the Journal of the American Medical Association a couple of years ago about the experience of telling a patient she had cancer. It was emotionally cathartic and completely articulated the feelings I had at that moment. I received so many emails from patients and physicians alike who felt my words conveyed their own experience with cancer and breaking bad news. That was awesome!(less)

Reading through my library

I have a lot of books. They stare at me from my bookshelf accusingly. I’ve had some of them for years and have yet to crack the spine. Others have felt my touch but were returned before I finished. The privileged few have been read and read and read again, lovingly picked up each time. Despite my collection, I scour the local library for new literary temptations. With the advent of the Kindle, I c Read more of this blog post »

This is my least favorite Grisham novel. It has many potential interesting subplots but none really went any where. I got to the last page and was shocked that it was over - so much left unfinished. I did learn a lot about coal companies and strip mi ...more
