Just saw this. Thanks, Dana. I'd been listening to Leonard Cohen and the first one, Superhero, got its rhythm from Cohen. The last one is the first time I've written anything about/for Arthur. The experiences were mine, but the environment was what each of us had to cope with. Arthur was such a good man ... Toronto was the worst possible place for him. It'll take more time and effort to do him justice. I wish we could have learned what we needed without the toxic and traumatic culture of 1980s medicine at The Best Damned Hospital in the Land.
