I am reading Scottish writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's epic Sherlock Holmes stories.

"You prefer the more holistic method of medicine - which I wholeheartedly support whenever possible."
The NP gives me an encouraging smile again. "So what I strongly recommend is....REST." Sometimes it is easy to forget that life exists outside of your small microcosm of existence. Case in point: My life - in my present locale - exists entirely around...
