True, part of why I chose my daughter's pediatrician is that she works in a practice that's open at some point every day except, I think, Thanksgiving and Christmas. A doctor or nurse practitioner is there to see patients daily, including on weekends. I like having that availability. Though that probably wouldn't work as well with T's, since someone probably wouldn't want to see whatever T happened to be on call on a Sunday, they'd want *their* T.
Thanks for this!
