My neurologist is of some kind of Middle Eastern extraction. Never gave it much thought until now, because it didn’t matter. And it still doesn’t, unless these recent events inspire him to move his practice elsewhere.
I’d hate to lose him, since he’s had charge of my case since the beginning. It’s unlikely that he would relocate, since his office is in Toluca Lake, which is one of the homogenized parts of the Valley, not a high-tension area. Still, you can’t count on every neighbor at a time like this.
I’ve noticed other people posting about friends, or people they do business with, being threatened. And what’s just as destructive is the fear of being threatened.
