Summary: | It was early and the patients bore our presence as we switched on lights, pulled back covers, and inquired about bodily functions. It was the early morning hours, and we were performing morning resident rounds in a university-teaching hospital. One lady was sitting up, ready for the residents. She was packed and eager to go.

She looked up, eager to hear the good news that all patients long to hear. . . . Arch Surg. 2006;141:705-707--> |
