I'm sure all of us who read the NYTimes Sunday magazine enjoyed this article with great interest. It was Kathleen's idea to post it on the blog so others could see it as well. It's about an MD who left the more presitigious setting of academic medical centers to practice among the Amish in Lancaster County, trying to understand and treat some of the inborn medical problems seen in their families. I admire his work, after reading this; and I continue to admire the Amish, though I am more aware of the heartaches and problems of their life choices than I was as a younger woman. Love, Maureen
