This is, I think, my platonic ideal of a "if they hadn't gotten back together in The Job" fic in the same was Cardiac Care is the gold standard of hospital fics. So well done.

This is such a wonderful piece! You really do write SO well and you do a really good job with the Jim and Pam dynamic. Heck, you even portray Karen and Jim and Karen's relatiship exactly as I imagined. I always thought that if Jim didn't need Karen as a buffer for Pam that their relationship wouldn't have started/lasted but I would nevver do such a wonderful job at portraying it as you did. Thanks for a great story!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! Yep, I don't think Karen would've ever had a chance if Jim wasn't so burned by Pam. I'm glad you enjoyed.

Wow! Great ending! In my humble opinion, Jim and Pam live happily ever after. Not even three years could keep them apart forver. That might be unrealistic, but I'm a romantic at heart.
You seem to know a lot about art. I noticed it in this story and in some of your others. I'm taking an Art History class as part of my gen. ed. requirements, so painting and art really interest me right now. It's awesome that you can incorporate your knowledge of art into Pam's character. Great job on this story, as on all of your stories!
Author's Response:
Thanks, Sarah!
I know some about art, not really a whole lot. I took AP Art History in high school and then worked for the Art History department in college. A job that is not obsolete, I'm sure. I mounted slides and worked the slide projector during professors's lectures. Now, I'm sure they use .jpg files and computers.
It is fun to incorporate the little bit I do know about art into Pam's character. Thanks for commenting!

What can I say? Love it. Great ending, I can see them both standing on the stoop perfectly, ready to start another chapter of their lives. Thanks and look forward to more CC now (no pressure) ;)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the ending. Cardiac Care will start up again ... have to get back into that groove!

Thanks for coming back! A truly heartwarming story! Yeah, they got back together!
Card-i-ac Care! (Shouted, like "Drill, drill, drill").
Author's Response: Thank you! =) I will get back to Cardiac Care soon!

You finished it! Well done as always, VB. Loved all the little details and sweetness of it all. And not to take away from this story at all, but will you pretty please work on Cardiac Care now? :D.
Author's Response:
Hi, Kestrel! I'm relieved that a few people seemed to enjoy the end of the story.
As I mentioned to NanReg, I'm creating a database for Project Peanut Butter. Bit of a deadline there because one of the doctors is leaving for Malawi in a couple of weeks. We need to go back & forth to design & tweak the DB so I can finish it, document it & email it all to her. Bandwidth isn't so good in Malawi apparently and the manual will be a big sucker of a file.
But I will start back on CC while I await feedback from the good doctor! I hope to post in the foreseeable future. As in you won't be old and gray before the next post...

Bravo, VB! I so enjoyed this. I was literally bouncing in my seat :) I love how you brought this together, and I like the possibilities of an open (but optimistic) ending.
So, going back...
-So great that Kelly showed up for Pam's art show and gave her the push toward Jim. Very sweet.
-Loved the prospect of Pam's co-workers seeing her personal paintings and what they portray--so cringe-worthy yet great (and happily unexpected).
-I enjoyed being a voyeur to Jim and Pam's preparations. You did such a good job at making Pam's clean apartment and beautiful, sexy appearance realistic. I appreciate that.
-You made my heart skip a beat when Pam's cousin exited their home. "Not another misunderstanding!" I screamed (internally, of course). Whew!
You hit it out of the park, VB. Excellent job.
*ahem* ummm...now maybe back to Cardiac Care?
Author's Response:
NanReg, thank you SOOOO much for the detailed review. I was having a coronary last night, watching the read count go up with NO, NO, NO reviews! I was starting to think I should take the chapter down and totally rewrite it or something! You have no idea how happy I was to see that you were bouncing in your seat! So thank you, thank you and thank you again!
Cardiac Care, you request? Funny thing ... I have been going to a dermatologist up at Washington Hospital Center for allergy testing. I had 95, yes NINETY-FIVE blobs of chemicals on my back for two days and ... NO REACTION ON THE BACK. My torso and legs are rashy and itchy as hell but the doctor seems unimpressed. I had another bad reaction last weekend to a soap. I really need to get this figured out.
Anyhoo, I was 45 minutes early today and spent some time walking around the hospital, taking in details!
Right now I'm working on a database for Project Peanut Butter. They've been keeping their data in Excel and ... it's not pretty. I do plan on getting back to Cardiac Care, though. Maybe I won't post till I have a few chapters written so I won't have these month-long delays between chapters. We'll see.
Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to review.

YAY!!! That was a perfect ending...although I'd have loved it to go into the next several scenes! But I loved it. Awesome.
Author's Response: Hi, Strider! I'm glad you liked the ending. And thank you for leaving a review for every chapter!

That...was...awesome!! You built the suspense so beautifully. However you are a tiny bit of a tease to omit the sleaze (I was going to say smut but rhyming won). I am so glad you finished it, and it was really a treat. Love your stuff - keep it coming!
-Mint
Author's Response: Thanks, Mint! Sorry about being a tease there. I just really wanted to leave this story open ended. Let the reader's mind wander and decide what happened over the next three days ... and nights! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, I'm sure Jim made good use of the box in his overnight bag. And New Jim and New Pam left nothing unsaid.
Nicely done, VB. (Now we need more Cardiac Care!!)
Author's Response:
Oh dear God, lisahoo! THANK YOU FOR LEAVING A REVIEW! It was killing me last night that the read count was like LITERALLY in the hundreds with nary a comment! I thought everyone hated the end of the story.
I really appreciate your taking the time to leave a comment. I do plan to get back to Cardiac Care soon.
