Meet Dr. Sanity

The blogosphere contains so many hidden treasures that it could absorb one's every waking hour. Nonetheless, here is one that was new to me: Pat Santy, M.D., aka "Dr. Sanity," whose medical degrees are in psychiatry and aerospace medicine. She is also wise, thoughtful, perceptive and one heck of a writer, as amply demonstrated by her profound and moving essay, "Do the Right Thing," which she posted on her blog on December 17, 2006. While I have just found her blog, many others have preceded me; Dr. Sanity was a 2006 Weblog Awards finalist.
