| type | an unpublished anecdote |
| source | incident involving my father |
| year | 1999 |
| excerpt | When I was still in school, and my father had not yet learned to call me before asking a doctor about his aches and pains, he went to a drop-in clinic following a traumatic knee injury. The physician on duty prescribed heat! This is shockingly wrong, but the results spoke louder than any discussion of physiology: his knee swelled dramatically, outrageously, causing severe pain and immobility. |
