Dr. Arnold Clovis was reviewing a new file prior to the patient’s first visit. “Foreigner,” he thought. “I can’t figure out how to pronounce the name.”
He’d just turned to his computer to find a pronunciation guide when the receptionist announced, “Zimreet Garlbrog to see you.” Bless Ms. Roberts; she must have anticipated his confusion.

“Your practice accepts my insurance.”
