Wednesday.
I subscribe to the Inscriptions newsletter (in my opinion, this has become the best writer's newsletter around since Inkling's sad demise), and there was an ad in a recent issue for the website of a freelance writer. I decided to check it out, since that's what I'm attempting. It's called ebooks by Debby Hunt, and the links page is especially wonderful! Bravo!

Something scary: an article, Staffing level faulted in transplant death, from Tuesday's Albany Times Union. It is about the findings from a State investigation of a January death of a TU reporter. He died when he had transplant surgery at Mt. Sinai. He was a live liver donor for his brother. Inadequate staffing was found by the State to be to blame (34 transplant patients to one first-year resident). The NYS commissioner of health is quoted in the story: "The transplant technique was perfect,'' Novello said. "It was the aftercare that was sloppy ... I call it a 'Space Odyssey' operation and a Third World follow-up.''
