This site is an ongoing collection of blog entries written by Margaret Dinsdale, a Toronto, Canada-based writer and business person. The main story on this site is To Hell in a Handbasket that documents the terrifying events of 2011 and 2012, that should have seen Margaret’s death on several occasions. To fully understand the story, please start at Part 1.

While not a trained medical professional, Margaret’s experiences as a journalist, commercial and non-profit communicator and fundraiser, and various other activities have provided her with the skills to be able to convey complex materials and issues in plain language for the general public.

It is her goal to make medical issues less opaque than they sometimes can be and to initiate important discussions on various topics such as mental illness, “universal” health care, infectious diseases, opioid abuse epidemics, Big Pharma, and other topical issues, such as the Big Business of human body parts.
