Hallowe’en is coming up in a couple of days and it got me thinking, besides wondering which kind of candy I should buy for my trick-or-treaters, about scaring kids and fear. What is so funny about being scared out of your mind, making your hair stand on end and your skin feel like it was [...]

I was so impressed by how they all had cared about the well-being of their patients and had not chosen their profession on the basis of its financial rewards.
