That was a scary evening. Something was wrong with Sue; we didn’t know what. We called the doctor and he came to the house (things have changed in 50 years, not always for the better!). Doctor examined her, said it might be appendicitis, might just be a bellyache. After a bit of discussion, I asked, Me: If it were your daughter, what would you do? Dr. I’d have it out. Me: Then let’s go! So I drove her to the hospital and all went well. But at our next fire department meeting my buddies were annoyed with me because I hadn’t called for their ambulance.
