The switch

I guess that it happens to everyone at some point in their life where the switch happens.  When the children begin to take care of their parents, who had in the past been the caregivers.  With my Dad being ill, I have know learned what it feels like to feel like the parent.  Such worry and fear, but most of all, you would like to have the power to make everything all better.  It is one of life's cruel jokes.

The other side of the scalpel

Due to my medical history, I have always viewed Doctors as mythical creatures, like a unicorn.  I remember the first time that I saw my surgeon shopping with his family at the grocery store.  I stared at him like I had just seen the white rabbit from "Alice in Wonderland".  How could he possibly be shopping at the store that us mere mortals went for groceries?

But now that I am working out of a Neurosurgeon's office, it gives the word "Doctor" a whole new meaning.  They are just normal people like you and I.  Life's little lessons....
