Sayantani DasGupta said… - HI Jamie,
Many thanks for the note and sorry for the tardiness of this reply! I'm so glad you enjoyed my essays in This Side of Doctoring! Have you seen Becoming a Doctor (ed. Lee Gutkind) came out this year... http://books.wwnorton.com/books/978-0-393-07156-6/
If you write on issues of illness and writing you might want to look at my book Stories of Illness and Healing: Women Write their Bodies - it's a collection of prose, poetry and essays by women experiencing illness and disability http://upress.kent.edu/books/DasGupta_S.htm
Looking forward to reading more of your stuff - just peeked at your blog. Are you still working at Sloane?
Cheers, Sayantani
