    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker works with the PTMC outreach team, delivering medications and companionship to a bitter, one-legged patient named Greg. Greg, who lives in a sparse studio apartment with no books, no music, and nothing but the ghost of a man named James to keep him company.
    When a bad fall lands Greg in the ER, Dennis expects a routine concussion workup. What he doesn't expect is for his cantankerous patient to start diagnosing the woman in the next bay with the kind of ruthless, brilliant arrogance that suggests Greg was never just a doctor's husband.

    A story about finding purpose, second chances, and the dignity of being seen -and being useful.

    Summary

    this was what they meant, he thought, in the haftarot of consolation, behold I will set your stones with carbuncle, and I will lay your foundations with sapphires, the foundations of his soul had been cleared out and replaced with glittering stones and he felt— free, unencumbered, like nothing and nobody could hurt him, not ever again.
