Seems odd to think that Bush's problem may have been that he wasn't "crazy" enough...

I was under the impression that Bush was a megomaniac. It would explain a lot.
On another note, just added another book to the TBR pile. Sounds interesting!
Agreed.
A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness sounds great!

Not a difficult read but not an overwhelming great read either. I am still thinking on the review but I am vacillating between 2-3 stars. Some of his arguments seem legitimate but his support of "normal" mentally healthy individuals seems a little concerning.

Noran - OMG! I only read the first post, but almost fell off my chair laughing. Can't wait to read the rest of the blog.

Bunnie,
Those are really tragic deaths. It takes a very special type of person who can handle such serious emergencies and still stay focused enough to try to help. My thanks to all you nurses and doctors.

Here Bunnie-the phrase was coined years ago. If you have not read this Photo filled book--give it a try, though it is 16 years old now.



Many retired to a town in Florida. Many were upset to have PC people take their living at side shows away. Where else could they work and make a good living-with others like them. There have been Documentaries about them through the years. The movie "Freaks" used real side show persons in the movie. Even the last episode of "The Glades", was set in the town where they settled. It even featured The mule faced lady in the last scene. I do not know if she was real or not-but I felt such empathy for her.
Also, the site I posted-has great respect for these individuals--cares a lot about them, Does not want them to be forgotten.
There is also the murder of the Lobster boy--real story, that occurred in the town.

I have cared for a "Pin Head" in my ER, though the condition is not called that. You could tell by the profile.

Hard to imagine this actually happening to someone, but seeing is believing. Yuck!
