I took a taxi home from the hospital today – my first time in an incredibly long time.  The price was double what I paid last time.  On the other hand, the driver was a young man, quick, efficient, and silent. 

When I think of how expensive it was, I compare it to my visit to the hospital itself where within an hour I had all my tests – halter, blood test, stress tests, ultrasounds, etc. evaluated by the surgeon – and it all cost me nothing.  

What a joy to only pay for a taxi.

p.s. I’m fine
