Article voiceover
Dr. Ben, Bruce’s
infectious diseases expert
at Columbia Presbyterian
although his office staff
is nightmarish although
the switchboard at
Columbia Presbyterian is
notorious for being
a Kafka exercise
Dr. Ben gave me
his email his cellphone
when I write at 11 PM
he calls and tells me
what to do when I write him
early morning he calls
and tells me when I call
on his cell he says he has to
feed his dog and he calls me
right back. If only the world
were populated with many
Dr. Bens.
Old school, I like it!
My ob gave us his home number in Month 9 but he was watching the Olympics. He only picked up during commercials.
