Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

This morning I had a nightmare in which someone was unsuccessfully trying to get help from a series of understaffed gov agencies. They eventually passed away from their solvable problem. Meanwhile, a bear stood nearby minding its own business.

I took this picture on a flip phone 17 years ago, the day after I brought this cat home. 😍
