R is for writing

Things cannot always go your way. Learn to accept in silence the minor aggravations. - Sir William Osler, 1903

Should equanimity be so widely praised for all physicians? - Howard Spiro, 1992

Do physicians go too placidly amid the noise and haste? Have your opinions ever landed you in politics, or in a pickle? There's always room for another view in The Left Atrium. We welcome submissions of unpublished poetry, memoir and fiction. The writing should be candid, but patient confidentiality must be respected. A sense of humour never hurts, and anonymity is an option. In general, prose manuscripts should be limited to 1000 words and poems to 75 lines.
