Death has always been patient.  For some it comes after a long and full life with boats and vacations and mortgages and big weddings and handshakes and Christmas cards from bankers. It comes with friendly nods and gentle warnings for driving a few miles above the speed limit.

For others it comes randomly with agony and pain and humiliation for a twenty dollar mistake.

In the Spirit of Medicine features the essays of Dr. Arne Vainio, an enrolled member of theMille Lacs Band of Ojibweand a family practice doctor on the Fond Du Lac reservation in Cloquet.
