“I don’t have insurance, but you’re a doctor. Don’t I have to pay you?”
She stared at me for a long moment, and then she said, “They didn’t tell you, did they? There’s really no charge here if you’re not insured.”
“I don’t need charity. I can pay.”
“Fine. That’ll be five dollars.” She held out her right hand, palm up. I noticed pink, fleshy scars marring her fingers. They looked recent. I didn’t ask.

“And leave your car here?”
“I’ll come back for it in the morning.” I raised my chin in defiance.
“You really want to play this game with me?”
“I think so, yeah.”
“You’ll lose.”
“Try me.”
