If one more person had the bad
manners to become ill, I was going to scream. With the kids home from
college, my car no longer belonged to me, but was dashing about picking
up friends not seen for a whole semester. That meant that I had to hire
a car to see to my patients and to go to hospital for rounds. Unused to
any but my own vehicle, my insurance agency recommended temporary cover
for a car for hire. I had never heard of such a thing, but I tried it
anyway because it wasn't very expensive.

No sooner than I had received the keys to the car, one of my patients
called. I had to journey across town to treat her, as she was confined
to bed and couldn't travel. Shouting at traffic, wishing myself tucked
onto a comfortable chair with hot tea and biscuits watching the telly, I
drove to her house to see what was the matter. Upon arrival, her
daughter ushered me into the house and led me to my patient's bedroom.
My pager went off, the daughter's mobile phone rang just as my patient
screamed. All thoughts fled my mind as I dashed to her bedside.
My patient had been bedridden due to an industrial accident ten years
before. She was paralyzed from the waist down and required daily help in
the form of her daughter and son-in-law, in whose house she lived. The
call today was because her body was suffering pain from a kidney
infection. Antibiotics had made a dent in the infection but the pain
still affected her. After loaning her my car keys, I wrote a
prescription for her daughter to get filled at the pharmacy for stronger
pain medications plus stronger antibiotics. I sat beside my patient to
chat until her daughter returned from the pharmacy.
Her daughter's husband had rung her to ask a question and my pager had
sounded from my children. At the same time the buzzers sounded, my
patient had a stab of pain she couldn't manage and screamed. All the
noise and screaming had rattled her badly, so I held her hand until her
daughter returned and told her about my children. She had never heard of
temporary cover on a car for hire but agreed that it was a good idea and
resolved to tell her daughter about it. Her son-in-law drove their car
on his job as a sales representative, so her daughter could use another
car some days. This temporary cover thing sounded like a godsend to her.
When her daughter returned, I explained when to take the medications and
to take them with foods. I had to leave for hospital but I asked them to
alert me to any problems. My hired car flew along the road to hospital
just in time for rounds. The temporary cover on the hired vehicle came
in handy while the children were home from university. I would
definitely use it again and highly recommend it.
