Comment on Questionable Psychic #392: Missing Jacquelyn Kotarac by Patient

Patient — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:32:20 +0000

Jackie Kotarac was my doctor for almost 15 years, and I always had the utmost admiration for her intelligence and passion. She told me she was devoted to science; she called it her religion, in fact. It saddens me that a so-called psychic would have exploited the family’s desperation to find her, especially in light of the tragic way she died.

There has been enough gossip about Jackie’s personal life and relationships, and many cruel comments from people who never met her. The last few times I saw her as a patient, I could sense that she was troubled. Whatever that trouble was, it led her to take a desperate action that resulted in tragedy.

Having now seen some of her family members interviewed on TV, I can see where Jackie got her warmth, intelligence and character. They are maintaining their composure in the midst of horrible publicity. They are going out of their way in a time of terrible grief to keep Jackie’s medical practice open.

What extraordinary love it must take for a family to set aside their grief to help the thousands of strangers — staff and patients — impacted by Jackie’s death. What extraordinary evil it must take for a “psychic” to exploit that love with false hope.

Beautifully lit, great composition, magical quality. Thanks for sharing. P.S. I came across these while reading your posts about Pfizer. If you have a special interest in pharmaceuticals and prescribing, I would like to arrange a short call.

I also read the Gawande article. And it has sparked some very meaningful discussions within our family. My husband and I (expecting our first baby in October) are having a will written up with a lawyer. And my siblings and I are very glad to know specifically what my parents’ (and each others’) end-of-life wishes are, so that the decisions are not left so much to our discretion. It wasn’t easy bringing up these topics with my loved ones, but when I thought of the others in the equation, and how the discussion could potentially lighten their burden in the future, it was compelling.

I would very much like to know the list of items Susan Block covers in her talking to dying people and their families. I have taken the Hospice training and have been intimately involved in four deaths.

Thank you.

Comment on “Bruce Nauman: Days,” a Sound Sculpture at the MOMA; I don’t get it by teresa

i completely disagree with you for me Nauman is a genius. This work wants to highlight that we have an alienate lives. In my opinion visitors are without even understanding it a fundamental part of its work. They sit in the middle,listening surrounded by white canvas, this means that our days are egual to each other that we won’t leave anything on our canvas and we don’t do anything to change this condition but we keep sitting on our seats each day of our lives.
At the least that’s for me it’s message, this can belong to conceptual art but maybe you don’t agree
