The Closing Statement
That is the thing people want and it is not true.
What I remember is that I felt useful.
I had left the clinic.
I was thirty-one and I was in a big house in a town where I knew nobody and my husband worked ninety hours a week, and for about six weeks in the spring of 2008 I was the most important person in that enterprise, and I have to be honest and say that I liked it.
The clinic is its own thing and I will do it quickly.
