Joplin, MIssouri - Our Country, Our Citizens

And this posting is why I try to catch up on the blog postings that I miss.


Be sure to page down to the story called:

45 Seconds: Memoirs of an ER Doctor from May 22, 2011


This is the first hand experience of an ER doctor who was present in the hospital that took a direct hit from the tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri.

Please take the time to read it. The story is riveting.

hi Elaine! that indeed was/is riveting as well as the most informative "anything" that i have read or seen on the news regarding that tornado. i could easily visualize what the doctor had written. this is one case where the best seemed to come out of the people of not only this community but others around it.

nice to see grimace, meathead, milo, with "company" again:)

btw, thanks for the recent mention
