Strong stuff here…When a limb is “dead” from a stroke, it becomes rigid, a burden…yet it still lives and has circulation… It becomes dysfunctional and a burden, yet still part of the body…
Being made to feel dissonance from someones writing conveys its ability to influence a person. Strong stuff here…

1. I have to say, I don’t like the dissonance between ‘dead arm’ and a stiff one.
2. typo with ‘Llike’
3. in contrast, or maybe just with another point-of-view from Dr. Charles, I cherish the times when I can look at the face of a patient and see my mother, my aunt, my sister, my child. I think it helps us not become the diagnosing-treating algorithm that would be replaced with the snap of a programmer’s finger.

some great imagery here, and an expression of weary kindness that I think we all feel as doctors, and as military doctors in particular.
thank you.
