  • Otters

    art, ramblings

    I just came across a great reason for being proud of being made a member of the Happy Otter Clan™, in this quote by Neil Gaiman from an article in Time magazine:

    Except the trouble is, as a creator…I saw a lovely analogy recently. Somebody said that writers are like otters. And otters are really hard to train. Dolphins are easy to train. They do a trick, you give them a fish, they do the trick again, you give them a fish. They will keep doing that trick until the end of time. Otters, if they do a trick and you give them a fish, the next time they’ll do a better trick or a different trick because they’d already done that one. And writers tend to be otters. Most of us get pretty bored doing the same trick. We’ve done it, so let’s do something different.

    Yes, it’s a cat photo on my blog, and it’s not even my cat. Still, every blog needs a cat photo now and again.

  • We had to kill our patients

    ramblings

    I’m not sure how I feel about this, but it’s pretty obvious the doctors throught they were doing the right thing, given the circumstances. It’s a sure bet, though, that someone’s going to be incensed about this, and heads— no doubt— will roll. Do Good Samaritan laws extend to euthanasia? (or does this not apply, since they were medical personnel?)

    Doctors working in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans killed critically ill patients rather than leaving them to die in agony as they evacuated hospitals, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
