註釋

Have you ever gazed deeply into your navel and contemplated: an emergency physician as an alleged mass murderer; pus; a flatulating mammoth; Mark's tribulations getting his Gospel published; athlete's foot as history's first public health crisis; the genitalia of Michelangelo's David; Churchill, DeGaulle, and FDR relaxing at iconic Rick's Café Américain; a wayward pelican interrupting a Yankee-Red Sox game; telepathic tortoises and pedicuring piranhas; Cagney, Bogie, and Edward G. Robinson rescuing us from life's current perfidies? These are but samples of the ironical, cynical, and metaphorical black humor contained in this tome. It's a glimpse through the diaphanous layers of the author's imagination. It's an imagination of another time from another place. It's an imagination that has been carefully molded by varying aliquots of Big Apple naiveté, emergency medical mayhem, madness & mirth, and a persistent fatalistic optimism.
