Great Regulars: [Michael Creagan] has found plenty to say,

not least from having to face every day a measure of suffering most of us cannot begin to imagine. Take, for instance, "In the Hospital: Watching People Die": "At first I expected them to go in anger,/or fear and trembling maybe . . . But there is no desperate calling on God or the devil . . . No, in fact, they seem not at all worried,/only disappointed, and very, very tired."

from Frank Wilson: Philadelphia Inquirer: Mining medicine, striking upon beauty
