The meek {insert redheads} shall inherit the earth. It was one of those unusual days, the middle of winter, but pleasantly warm. My schedule ended in the mid-afternoon and I was looking forward to slipping out of the dental office to enjoy some daylight. One last patient was added to my schedule, an emergency.
