"Already?" That was fast, but First Aid takes it in stride. "That's fine then, as long as you have a personal physician you're happy with. Happily our town pharmacist, Sally Boyle, also provides OB/GYN services to everyone who needs them. And Doctors Pierce, Watson, and myself all have surgical experience, although mine is the most modernized since I came here from 2007." No condescension there; Drs Watson and Pierce do good work. He's just letting Erin know.

"The pamphlet I gave you includes a map showing where all three clinics are in town, as well as Sally's pharmacy. If you have trouble getting to an appointment you can use the phone in the Oak & Iron, and I'll pick you up." Friendly and just a little mischievous, he adds, "I also happen to be an ambulance."
