What a nice surprise to see Dr. Horace McMillan on the cover of the Independent.
While in the emergency room of St Francis Hospital decades
ago, I received care from Dr. McMillan. I never forgot his kind presence, his
voice, and his skill as a doctor.
I was delirious from severe dehydration shock, and groaning,
to the dismay of a nurse who kept popping in my curtained area to tell me that
I was disturbing the other patients and that I needed to stop moaning. After eight
consecutive hours of nauseous retching for no apparent reason, my outgoing
breath was speaking its own language.
