Mom enjoyed helping people out in this way. She never charged money for these home-based visits. She earned and spread a lot of good will.
Mom has been retired for over twenty-five years. There are still a few families of former patients that send her a box of home-baked cookies every Christmas.
I, on the other hand, was simply the snoop that wanted "in" on the visit.

When I was a kid we had a neighborhood doctor who would take callers at all hours of any day or night. It's hard to imagine now. In my mind, your mom is still the ideal doctor.
She's also the ideal Mom!
