MAIN IDEA: Someone is frustrated and in a rush to get to a doctor's appointment.

At the railroad crossing, the bells clanged jarringly, the red lights flashed, and the crossing gates descended to block the roadway. O'Brien exhaled a sigh, and rapped her fingertips impatiently against the inside of the driver's door. Slowly a train clattered across her field of vision: 89 railroad cars! As she waited for them all to pass, she planned what she would say to Dr. Ferlinger when she arrived at his office.

  • She planned what she would say to Dr. Ferlinger when she arrived at his office.
