Finally, I found a doctor I can love. Some say this is not the point, but why would I want to “share” with a professional if they are not (and charming, thank you).

Well, turns out, a formula exists. Now that I have added Dr. Rendon Garcia as our family practioner, I count three spanish speaking medecins. Good things come in three, they say, so I should have known to look for that in the third.

Tucker, Ramos, Rendon.

Also, turns out the plague in the house (David added thrush this week) calls itself mycoplasma atypical pneumonia. Dr. Rendon says, “The reason you ‘never get sick,’ María Tifoidea, I have to tell you, is because you are.”

Brilliant.
