This book arose from a conversation between Hugh Cameron, an orthopedic surgeon, and Edna Quammie, an OR nurse, reminiscing about their shared memories. It was proposed at a dinner meeting of the Dinosaur Club, a group of doctors and nurses and technicians who worked in the operating room in Toronto General Hospital in the seventies and eighties. It tells of the thrills and spills—sometimes funny, sometimes sad—about life in the OR at that time which followed Woodstock, which, in a sense, ...

This is the light hearted tale of a fictitious orthopedic surgeon stumbling down the strange alley-ways of the intersection of medicine and the law, both of which many people find fascinating. As orthopedic surgeons look after trauma case, inevitably they become involved with ‘The Law’ as someone has to tell the judge and jury just what the injuries were and the expected long term outcome. The incidents described are entirely fictitious, as are the characters. Any distant relation to reali...

The last major event was the Spanish influenza at the end of WWI. There have been events of concern such as SARS ...

Even the most egregious terrorist outbreaks are passed over by politicians as something which occurs in big cities and the indigenous population should simply get used to it. Policing in most of the West has sun...

The West is entering its final phase, like the fall of Rome or the Late Merchant Phase of the various Chinese empires. It is slowly grinding to a halt as the inevitable problems multiply, with no obvious will to counter the decline. One man dreams of humanity becoming a multiplanet species in the hope of preserving the basics of human knowledge through the coming dark ages.
