DOCTOR WHO?

                                                           MEET DOCTOR WHO ?
  DOCTOR WHO? was quite a character.  He liked to make a fashion statement with his ties.  Notice his tie in this drawing.  You may think the pattern on this tie is 100s of fried eggs.  Wrong.  This is a repeating pattern of  stemcells printed on silk.  Each day of the week Dr. Who had a different tie.  On Monday his tie might be a pattern made of cream colored platelets on a navy back ground or Tuesday white blood cells on red. My favorite tie was his red blood cells on light yellow that always looked nice with his blue pinstripe shirt.

MEET MISS IV POLE


    Over time Guy's IV Pole morphed into Miss IV(sexy) Pole.  She became sassy and proud of herself.  Miss IV was always with him, she ate with him, walked laps with him and even slept with him. When I realized I was becoming jealous of his IV pole I knew I needed to go home for a rest.  Actually some patients would give their IV poles wigs and paper plate faces. The nurses assured me my reaction was common. I wasn't as crazy as some said.

WARRIORS WITH WEAPONS

                  MEET OUR FELLOW WARRIORS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
There were chairs at the end of the hall next to the only window.  This was the meeting place for those who were able to walk the halls.  After a certain amount of chemo all the patients male and female began to look alike, at least for a while.  The lady in the center has managed to declare her femininity.
