Hospital Affairs I am supposed to be getting ready for the awards banquet at the hospital. It�s a fancy affair and good ol� Doc Hawk is being recognized (along with a lot of other folks) for ten years of service to the institution. It will be a bittersweet moment for me, because if I hadn�t contracted meningitis 4 years, they would be calling out my name tonight too for having been there ten years. No mistake, I love Hawk and no one is more supportive of his career than me. I�m proud to go to this function as Mrs Doc Hawk. But I wonder about the road not taken. These hospital affairs are strange for me. I�ll run into a lot of people who only know me as �that nurse that didn�t die.� They will shake my hand, tell me I am looking great (filthy liars!) and ask how I am feeling. At least Dr JJ has something to report this year. I had better go get dressed. Maybe I�ll start drinking early
