He was great. Not as great as Michael Conrad, but that is splitting hairs, in extremis(/Esterhaus) Do it to them, before they do it to us.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Compassionately intolerant
erika, I loved Michael Conrad to bits. Prosky's contribution was so different and he's known to me more for his stage stuff and brunch time nods of acknowledgment around the 'hood.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
What Sparky Said about a detailed letter to the hospital ombudsman, with copies to the relevant administrators and your pain specialist's office.
I do have to wonder, with you being a Foreign-ish Person Of Some Color, would he have treated a white American woman of the same age thusly? He may well be an equal-opportunity asshole but it may be there's a pattern developing that an ombudsman might detect.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Crazy, crazy , crazy. Typo boy might have a point. We make these drugs and then decide it would be evil for people to use them - as ordered by their doctor

My first reaction to that was, "Huh? She's ita-colored, what other color would she be--oh, right."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I tried that at another hospital (asshole doc insisted he evaluated me from the next bed over, through the curtains, while he was stitching up someone else's foot, and kept (literally) threatening me with a lumbar puncture every time I told him I was still in pain) and they would refuse.
I was kind of thinking "Hey, can I speak to Dr. X?" and if they say "One minute..." you just hang up. But I don't know if doctors have different phone lines for personal calls....

I cannot stop eating. And I really need to! I was all full from my cheeseburger deluxe for lunch, but I walked by some baklava on the front desk, and ate some of that! And then I've been eating hard candies ever since. Bah!!

Co-worker wants to know a nice place to eat near Baltimore's Little Italy (between Hopkins and the Inner Harbour). Not super-pricey. Fiance is vegetarian but not vegan.

Bonny, yeah, I've seen him act on many things, including some West Wings and lots of movies...it's not his fault I always think of that one first, but mine. Wonder if he will get a "Countdown" shoutout.
