TOM MCMAHON writes on “What I have learned in fifteen years” of taking care of a brain-damaged son.

I’m happy to say that the medical woes that my family has experienced haven’t reached this caliber, but I’m sorry to say that I’ve learned many of the same things.

Speaking of which, if you’re an oncologist and know something about spindle-cell sarcoma, I’d appreciate you dropping me a line. No it’s not a problem in my immediate family, but it’s a problem in my family nonetheless, alas.
