I had the honor of performing the first bone marrow harvest in our new children's hospital and taking a trainee through her first harvest. I was able to correct deficiencies in the harvest process that were a result of the transition to the new hospital and help teach proper technique to those coming after me.
One lucky woman is getting one hell of a Christmas present today - prayers out to her and her family, and heartfelt gratitude for the gifts, opportunity and privilege to help these patients.

Such power does not destroy outright, but prevents genuine existence. It does not tyrannize immediately, but it dampens, weakens, and ultimately suffocates, until the entire population is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid, uninspired animals, of which the government is shepherd." - Alexis de Tocqueville
