Three chapters today. There are times when the story slows down a ltlle, and I want to hold reader interest. Feedback always appreciated.
Chapter 11 posted.
A word about the business of needing "codes' to get telephone information about hospital patients.
In most hospitals it's real. My late wife was an ICU nurse, and had to deal with it. If someone called asking about a patient without the correct code she was told not even to acknowledge that a patient by that name was there.
It's a privacy thing. And it can be a problem if, as sometimes happens, you forget the code-or, worse yet, the hospital does.
Yeah, they're supposed to keep records, but I've had them lose track and been told that a patient wasn't there even though I had the right code.I wound up having to make a two-hour drive into the hospital to find out what was going on (it wasn't good). Mostly the system works, but when it doesn't things can get awkward.The price we pay for privacy.
Chapter 9 is up. For those who ask how I'm able to post so frequently, let me say that the whole story is written and proofed (and re-proofed, several times over). I write each story as a unit and then go back over it. Nobody but me ever sees the first draft. I do a weekly magazine column in my field (freight transportation management and law) and the same rule applies. It's slower but much surer.
Chapter 8 posted. This is part of the "minimal sex" designation. Sorry if you've been hoping for more. I'm afraid I don't consider sex to be a spectator sport even in writing.
Thanks to those who've commented.
