Reason #3409851 why I love the Good Samaritan Clinic:
Last night, the neurosurgeon who volunteers at the clinic was supposed to come by at 7pm to see two patients who have bulging disks. However, he had two emergency surgeries and didn't know what time he'd be able to get to Garden City. He ended up calling and saying he'd be there between 9 and 9:30pm. I called both patients he was supposed to meet with; the first, who lives over an hour away, said he couldn't make it because his headlights don't work and then the second, who lives about 15 minutes away, said she couldn't make it because she didn't have a ride. So at 9pm, when the regular clinic ended, the two women I work for got in a car and picked up the latter patient. They arrived back at Good Sam at 9:30, just a few minutes after the doctor began reviewing her films. I didn't get home until 10:30 last night, but it was well worth it. I love being part of an organization that cares so deeply for its clients.
