You write with great feeling, @joystick5, and you have the technical skill to express your thoughts. In this noble doctor we have a truly admirable character.

Welcome to the Inkwell. It seems from your story that you might find a comfortable place here. We are first of all writers, and we are a community. We support each other with feedback, and with that writers authors become acquainted with each others work.

Please read our rules, our manifesto against violence and also our several prompts that give writers ideas each week. Thank you for sharing this story with us. We hope to read more from you in the future. (We also accept creative nonfiction pieces).
