A few of you have wondered about the other Dr. Patel stories not included in Empty Rooms Lonely Countries. Tomorrow I’ll be posting one of those stories, called “Playing With the Dead”. This story deals with Dr. Patel and I being invited to a drug dinner, where a drug company invites pharmacists to meet for free food and drinks and then having to sit through a presentation on the latest drug of choice. Amazingly enough, I managed to push my way into quite a few of these dinners.

“Playing With the Dead” was written for a pharmacy magazine, but it was eventually rejected. Once you read the subject matter, I think you’ll understand why any respectable pharmaceutical publication would be hesitant to publish it.

Hopefully this will satisfy any Dr. Patel cravings you have.

And maybe I’ll get around to writing up a commentary for the story as well.

BOOKS

“I absolutely loved this book. EMPTY ROOMS LONELY COUNTRIES is bittersweet and touching, with some really funny bits . . . There are moments of sagacity and wisdom like I’ve rarely seen before, but it’s oh so sad – heartbreakingly, hauntingly, beautifully so . . . easily one of the my top ten favorite books of all time.” - TAMPA BOOK BUZZ
