My new job requires that I review medical records of individuals who have filed for disability benefits. I am learning to think of these individuals as "claimants" rather than "patients." AND while some are never going to be allowed (nail bed injury), others break your heart and give you pause. So this Thanksgiving season finds me:
1. Grateful for my job
2. Grateful for my health which allows me to work
3. Grateful for the ability to learn
4. Grateful for family (those here and those represented by the empty chair at the table)
5. Grateful for my friends, all of you (meet in real life and meet only on-line, so far)
