Awww....some lucky folks

This story on Spaulding Rehab in the Boston area reminded me of when Saintarama Rehab was moved. It was particularly moving, because of the patients who were excited to be the first occupants of the new hospital space, including some injured in the Boston Marathon bombing.

One quote was particularly telling:

“Traditionally, rehab has always been relegated to whatever rundown space existed in the corner of the hospital,” Storto said. “I have wanted this [building] to be a bold statement for the rehab field, for people with disabilities and their families.”

Amen, brother, (as more than a few of my patients said, when we opened our new wing at the Hotel), amen!

Patriots' Day

Paul Revere may have warned them the British were coming, but no one warned anyone of today's horrors at the finish line in Boston.

Lives, legs, loved ones disappear in a moment. So sad.

Thoughts and prayers go out to all involved in Boston tonight. An unspeakable end to a journey so long awaited for many.
