The psychologist who called all his patients after the bombs went off

Jason Mihalko recalls April 15, 2013 - and his decision to call every one of his patients:

I felt that had I not contacted my patients, I would have engaged in a human error that I could not recover from. I would have been neglectful of my patients and would have violated everything that I believe in about the therapeutic enterprise.

I would have missed my patients--dropped them--and had not been present at an important time in the world. I would have been hiding at a time that I needed to be present.

Four days later the bombs came again.

very proactive and nice to see somebody with the conviction and strength of heart to have such follow through

Kudos to people who turn tragedies into something positive. Please keep these stories coming, today and throughout the year.

His patients are very lucky.
