…thoughts of an anachronistic, solo pediatrician

laugh and the merry laugh louder," Cervantes, Prologue to Don Quixote

Anecdote:
Christopher, age four, was full of life and very precocious. He was here for an ear infection and I explained about taking an antibiotic, what to do for a cough, as well as starting a nebulizer of wheezing.
He usually has many questions for me, as well as running editorial comments on the whole process. He knows me pretty well and he took my instructions in very calmly, sitting on the stretcher expressionlessly, an implacable gaze on his face.
When I finished he said, “Dr. Feole?”
“Yes, Christopher.”
“Do you have any questions?”

Poetry:
Once I Pass’d through a Populous City
Once I pass’d through a populous city imprinting my brain
for future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions,
Yet now of all the city I remember only a woman I casually met
There who detain’d me for love of me.
Day by day and night by night we were together – all else
has long been forgotten by me,
I remember I say only that woman who passionately clung to me,
Again we wander, we love, we separate again,
Again she holds me by the hand, I must not go,
I see her close beside me with silent lips sad and tremulous.
by Walt Whitman
