Lynn's Comments: This happened in our dental clinic. I changed the name to protect the guilty. Divot was a great cartoon name!

Lynn's Comments: Did I ever get into hot water over this one! Clinic staff wrote to say that it was a terrible thing to write notes in patients’ files suggesting they were difficult to work with and that PITN should never have been used. Well, we did write small notations like this just for our own information…and, the letters were: PITA!

Lynn's Comments: Yes. We acquired several age-soothing vehicles: a replica touring car, a Jeep convertible, a blue tractor and a backhoe!

Lynn's Comments: This was true. Friends had come by with a sailboard and the owner—a man about our age, showed us how easy it was to master. Wrong. It is not easy, and those of us who tried and tried to get up on the thing suffered from sore arms for a week!

Lynn's Comments: Here, the gossip machine works against an innocent guy. In a television series, writers could spin out this situation for weeks!

Lynn's Comments: One thing that always surprised me was how resilient and up beat our patients were after surgery. Dogs recover from some of the most serious operations with cheerful and friendly behavior—masking any pain they might be in. They are far more active than you’d expect them to be. Perhaps it’s a way to survive in the wild.
