Carol complained of acid reflux. On the exam table that day, her abdomen rose like a nine month pregnancy...but she wasn’t.
“Am I in trouble doc?” she asked when she saw my face fall.
The gynecologist delivered a twenty pound ovarian tumor. As promised to Carol, I scrubbed in and watched.
The path report was, thank heavens, benign!

This must be the hardest thing to deal with as a doctor -- and when the outcome is positive, the best, too.
Wishing you a warm and joyous holiday, WordDoc. May it be filled with laughter and much love. Merry Christmas!

Thanks Wren, I hope your quiet at-home holiday went well and that all your last-minute errands passed without a glitch. Best wishes for the coming year!
Wow!
Indeed,I would think this situation must be such a challenge--but so wonderful if everything "comes out" okay. Happy Holidays, Doc.
