" I asked her to let me know in a month if it was helpful. As she was leaving, she quickly glanced around the office and told me that she was happy that she had come.

"This is very unusual," she said. "I don't want to leave."

I walked her to the receptionist's desk and as I did, I am sure I heard my violin playing."

I guess that's where I'm lucky, my Dr doesn't play a violin considering how busy he is he does liten.
