Tiffany Volden and Rachel Brenner are both Geriatricians who practice at the Salt Lake City VA. They frequently meet up in the GEM Garden to discuss work, life, philosophy, and any other topic that wanders into their minds. They
collaborated on these two stories to convey the respite they seek from these
meetings and the vulnerability they continue to encounter along the way.
