(930)▪︎[ To Dr. Peffley … 11•3•2021 ]

[ I Remember The Night Well, Even Though It Was A Long
     Long Time Ago ]
[ I Decided To Take A Chance On A Dr. That I Did Not Know ]

[ He Was The Camp Dr., For The Week, That We Were There ]
[ I Watched How He Interacted With The Other Campers ]
[ & How He Gave Care ]

[ I Did Not See Him Set A Broken Bone Or Diagnose A
     Brain Tumor ]
[ But I Thought That He Was Very Personable ]
[ & Had A Great Sense Of Humor ]

[ I Continued To Observe ]
[ & See If He Had A Steady Nerve ]

[ Everybody Seemed To Like Him ]
[ & He Them ]

[ So After One Of The Evenings, Entertainment One Night ]
[ I Got Up The Courage ]
[ To Get Over My Fright ]

[ I Went Up To Dr. Peffley ]
[ To See ]
[ If He Could Be A Dr. For Me ]

[ So I Took On The Task ]
[ To Hide How Nervous I Was ]
[ As I Stepped Towards Him To Ask ]

[ (WOULD YOU BE MY REGULAR DOCTOR?) ]
[ I Did Not Give Him Another Choice ]
[ Like Saying (OR) ]

[ He Looked @ Me @ First, With An Expressionless Face ]
[ Then He Said The Most Memorable (5) Words Back ]
[ (YOU ARE A COMPLEX CASE) ]

[ For The Record ]
[ That Comment Stumbled Me For A Second ]

[ It Would Have Been Awhile ]
[ If Dr. Peffley Hadn’t Been Standing There Now, With A Big Smile ]

[ Then He Asked (BUT YOU HAVE SPECIALISTS ALREADY
     IN PLACE, RIGHT?) ]
[ He Seemed To Understand My Plight ]

[ So Started A Longtime Dr./Patient ]
[ Relationship ]

[ Dr. Peffley’s Practice Has Gone Through Several Changes
     Through The Past Couple Of Years ]
[ Having Him For My Doctor, Has Eased Many Fears ]

[ I Still Don’t Want To Bother Him @ Odd Hours Of The
     Night ]
[ I Guess I Am Old Fashioned & I Don’t Think That Is My Right ]

[ Dr. Peffley Is Always Accurate With His Diagnosis &
     Quick With The Joke ]
[ When I Say That He Is The Best Doctor, That I Have Ever Had ]
[ I Am Not Blowing Any Smoke ]
