Summer Under the Lily Moon
Yesterday Kate worked her last shift, finishing off a career that began as a scrub tech in Des Moines in 1963. That’s 49 years.
Tomorrow she leaves at noon for her high school reunion in Nevada, Iowa. Her 50th. (That’s a long a on the first one in Nevada, for those of you uninitiated.)
And, perhaps the greatest irony, today comes the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Obama Healthcare legislation. Kate’s a staunch supporter of universal health care.
She’s been right and ahead of her time on many, many issues in medicine. She’s right on this one, too.
(this picture taken on the first day after Kate left full-time work behind. About three years ago or so. She knows where she is.)
