Acknowledgments
With deep appreciation to Dr. Michael Kaufman and Dr. Debra Wright for enduring my endless questions about medicine and physicians. Any malpractice committed in the writing about medical issues is my own. Special thanks to two wonderful editors, Jeff Kellogg, and Emily Ethridge, on whom I have depended heavily for their insights into language, plots and people.
To Kay, Mark, and Emily
