Creative Speculation

I was a young therapist, right out of grad school.
Sometimes my car didn't start and the clinic patients would give it a jump right away.

Or they would bring in gifts during the holidays. Inexpensive or homemade.
But something to show their gratitude. People in wealthier communities didn't do this.

I was not looking for gifts of course, and would not be allowed to keep anything expensive.
But I noticed the difference.
