You had me at 'the city is libidinous.' Wonderful writing doctor. Just wonderful. You should make a run for the Bulwer-Lytton awards! Also, message me. I'd love for you to write a column for Common Sense! If you're interested, of course. edwinleap@gmail.com.

This ER love story is a wild ride from start to finish! I mean, who would've thought the emergency room could double as a backdrop for a rom-com? Your storytelling has this perfect mix of humor and chaos that really brings to life the unpredictability of working in an ER. This story is a hilarious, heartwarming reminder that sometimes, the best stories come from the most unexpected places. Cheers to the unexpected love stories in the ER!
