The Lord created medicines
out of the
earth. (Sirach 38:4)
Dear Abby,
Orientation for your near three years of studies in the Physician’s Assistant Program at the University of South Alabama begins in a few days. So, you moved from San Marcos, TX some ten hours east along Interstate Ten to Mobile, AL, where you move into a home of your very own—some three blocks from the university, I’m told. What is it like to be a homeowner?
We will be interested in your Orientation and your classes for the semester. I’ve had a lot of interaction with Physician’s Assistants lately. They are the ones I communicate with. The PAs tell me when I can take the bandages off my head, and the stitches out of my scalp, and activate my stimulator. I tell them, “My granddaughter is studying to be a PA.” They light up.
A few years back, we did a road trip with the Sjodahls
along Interstate Ten from New Orleans to Tallahassee, FL. We passed right
through Mobile, but it meant nothing to me then. But now, it’s a special place.
