I'd called a Christian Science Reading Room listed in the phone book two weeks earlier. Now I was ready to find out more about another listing—"Christian Science Practitioner."
The man who answered gave me his name.
I told him I'd been in bed with a lot of pain, because I'd fallen in a hole on the sidewalk. All I could think of were pictures of broken bones I'd seen as a pre-med student. I was sure I could feel exactly where my hip had fractured when I fell.
