| Description: |
I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I may "suture for a living", but I "live to sew". When I can, I sew. These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts.

It turned out, as the story goes, that I was tongue-tied (ankyloglossia). Apparently, after my frenum was snipped I quickly began speaking normally and was soon called “motor mouth” as they couldn’t shut me up. The section of the 1908 textbook,
Haikus
It seems I inspired T, Notes of an Anesthesioboist, recently to write a beautiful Haiku. I was encouraged by Dr Rob, Musings of a Distractible Mind, who is holding a contest. Hers and mine are based on our professions. I’d like to encourage you all to do the same. No contest, just a challenge similar to the Six Word Memoir
ASPS News on Breast Reductions
The ASPS News Brief section has two updates listed related to breast reductions regarding papers presented at last week’s American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Plastic Surgery 2009 conference which I wasn’t able to attend.
