Great piece. I really enjoy that you have this sort of dual identity (I can identify) and that all of your essays have a very personal touch. Thanks, and I hope your New Years is miraculously less eventful.

This is a beautiful essay that takes us in to a world

which is invisible to most of us. However, it is more than an essay on an emergency room but

a reflection on the human condition told with compassion and sensitivity.

I loved this, Matt. And, being me, I'm so glad you got to have something to eat on Christmas!
