Re: Angel Report #3 - Peg Galloup

[Guest guest]

Of course, this is the same incredible Peg that I met and walked with

several times at Mount Sinai this week. Remember how I said that she

had a fortitute and cheerfulness that I hadn't encountered in too

many people? Well, here's an example: THREE hours after her surgery

(I met Dr. Pomp in the hall and asked about Peg) she said she had

just been complaining a little about the pain BECAUSE SHE HAD BEEN

LAUGHING. Can you imagine? There was NO laughing going on in my

room, let me tell you!

Best,

Dr. Gagner 11-20-01
