Pediatric VIP

I called about Naomi's fever today and they gave me the whole 'its nice that you called but chill out you freak-show' routine. Then I mentioned that Eliot has leukemia and it all changed. They had me in for an appointment - which started early - within a few hours. They treated me like I had every reason to be there. They asked lots of concerned questions. Wow. It was great. There was none of that condescending air of superiority. None of that chill out woman its just a tiny little fever. I felt no need whatsoever to apologize for wasting their time. It was wonderful. Wonderful. It blows too. Goodness. You don't really want to be a VIP in the medical system. Not like this. I mean. Not really.
