Do You Go To Ontario?

  This was from a dispatcher for Expressdoc, a national housecall agency. Ontario is in San Bernardino County, fifty miles distant, but this is small potatoes. My record drive is ninety miles to Santa Barbara. The patient was an Argentine lady visiting her son; her upset stomach presented no problem. The son and I chatted as he accompanied me to the elevator. He told me he was reevaluating his decision to remain in the US because the political atmosphere had grown so shrill. Did you ever think there’d come a time when Latin Americans considered their governments more stable?
