Oh wow, I had no idea about what your dad does for a living--that's REALLY cool, as was the fact that you got to see that procedure. It's no wonder your Doctors... in SPACE! stories have such a good medical sort of feel to them (I would never even TRY to write anything set in a hospital/doctor's office for more than a few paragraphs, because I know I wouldn't be able to capture the feeling AT ALL).

The Lewis Black story is also great, although it kind of gets overshadowed by the bad-assery of drilling into a person's skull. :)

Thanks for taking the time to share these!
