Sometimes, I swear my life is a Julia Roberts movie. Right now, I am going through the part that sucks. The most. So bad that I feel the overwhelmingly desperate need to take a leaf out of her book. Just feels like a long-drawn bildungsroman. Only problem is my character isn’t growing as fast as I want it to or as I should be. Day and night, I sit here waiting for my twist of fate to happen. ‘Patience, Patience. The time has got to be right,’ I tell myself, hoping for the ‘all’s well that ends well’ ending. Please Doctor Cupid, please don’t misfire your arrows. And just as my strong-willed Julia Roberts spirit kicks into full gear, this man comes into the picture (why does it always have to be a man thrown in the mix) and I swear (twice now) my life is a Julia Roberts movie, like for real. Hold on tight for the twists and turns – and an ending that’ll blow your ... never-mind, I probably shouldn’t reveal too much just yet xx.

Reproduction of the original: Doctor Cupid by Rhoda Broughton

the holiday heart February 14th The doctor is IN…love! The arrow—as if guided by radar, or maybe Cupid—pierced Peter Holiday's posterior. Only archer Mary Ellen Magnussen saw stars when she looked into the sexy doctor's milk-chocolate eyes. But with the feather-tipped shaft protruding from his rump, she doubted he would ask her to be his Valentine. Pain may have made the always-in-control Peter delusional because he was besotted…with the one woman who was off-limits. As a scientist, he'd committed himself to eliminating romantic love, but as a man, he'd gladly be ravaged by it for one kiss from Mary Ellen's sweet, rosebud lips. Everyone loves the Holidays!

The alumni of Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons (VP&S) have made remarkable strides in medicine, academia, public health, and industry. In this they follow in the footsteps of Samuel Bard (1742–1821), a prominent early American physician and a founder of what would become VP&S. In The Caring Heirs of Doctor Samuel Bard, Peter Wortsman offers a selection of profiles of Columbia-educated doctors who have made a fundamental difference in the lives of others. The physicians profiled in this book represent the complete spectrum of MDs. They have charted new fields of medicine, resolved long-standing biochemical mysteries, discovered the causes and cures of diseases, developed vaccines, pioneered surgical procedures, helped halt epidemics, and cared for imperiled populations. Some have run hospitals, medical schools, universities, the National Institutes of Health, the National Library of Medicine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, city health departments, and major pharmaceutical concerns. Others practiced at the White House, climbed mountains, or flew to outer space. Still others wrote pioneering papers, edited prestigious medical journals, and authored prize-winning books and best-selling novels. In each case, the clinical training, scientific thoroughness, and humanistic values inculcated at Columbia had a formative influence on their thinking and practice. In telling their stories, The Caring Heirs of Doctor Samuel Bard illustrates the importance of clinical rigor and humanistic caring in the practice of medicine and offers readers a rare insight into the heart and soul of American medicine at its best.
