Vicarious Healing. Cathy L. Bagley MD

he last opened, shared, cared about forging relationships of that kind. "What timing," he thought! "Now that I'm going bonkers or having an attack of some kind, I've got no one to assuage my grief!"

      No matter how Attorney Doe baited his heart with terrorist, alien invasive apocalyptic grandiose notions, it ignored all contrived lure! Its only stimulus was nature's magnificence, as determined by one of his five senses... illogical! These weren't the usual predictable triggers like crass firm employees, bad practical jokes and the like. Nothing about this weirdness made rational sense. The duty-bound attorney just knew he had not taken one sick day his entire professional life; no storm either man, self or nature-made ever poured down with enough force to warrant leave. However, he could not shake feeling an indolent natural tempest brewed and his proactive mind wanted to seek out possible shelters. Much like one of the two unsuccessful three little pigs, he hadn't a clue as to what such a shelter's construct should consist of or how to prepare for fox-like nature's storm of yet known elements. Surely, rain called for a different response than that of wind, earthquake or a tsunami. Attorney Doe would have to brainstorm on ways to keep out of the tempest's way rather than in it's path. Yes indeed, his ingenuity, intelligence and forethought would render him as successful as the third little pig... oink-tastic!
