I empathize with Margaret Wente in her wait to find Dr. Clavicle and Dr. Wrist (Calling Dr. Clavicle – Nov. 28). As we grow older, increasingly we find that the centre and extremities cannot hold; our GPs must find specialists to put us back together again. So we wait – for how long, one does not know – in my case for Dr. Hip. Which no doubt qualifies me to become part of another kind of Tragically Hip. Wish I could sing.

We're making some progress.
