Ever longed for a deeper human connection as a patient or a doctor? Had a surprising moment of revelation in the midst of your everyday life? Marveled at the night sky or an unexpected encounter with a fellow wanderer? Me, too. That’s what I write about in Crash Cart Campfire.

Some of what I post here will be stories that I’ve presented at Mortals in Medicine, or that have seen the light of day in other publications. Some of the stories here will be new. It’s a wild world out there—come warm yourself up by the fire. Let’s share some stories and connect. Sign up, it’s free!

I practice Palliative Medicine after 13 years working as an ER doc. I write about patients and encounters that have really rocked me over the years. Sometimes I even try to write about the outdoors, music, family, and faith.
