Donna Reid had just finished her training as a children’s doctor. A famous research hospital in New York had offered her a job with good pay. And her boyfriend, Tony, had a clinic in their hometown and hoped she could work with him. At the same time, a small hospital, Backwoods Hospital, in a very poor area had also offered Donna a position. Now it was time for her to decide where to work.

Dad: Donna, that research hospital in New York has a good reputation for children’s medicine. Some of the best children’s doctors in the country work there and you can learn a lot from them.

Mom: Yes, I agree it’s a good hospital and the pay is good, too. But, that’s not the point.

Dad: Then what’s the point?

Mom: It’s in New York, too far away! Let me tell you what, dear Donna. Tony’s clinic is just several blocks away. You don’t need to travel far if you work there. Tony is a nice young man and I guess you’ll get married soon.

Dad: Ha! It’s hard enough to live with a husband or wife. Working with them, too? That’s a choice for trouble. Well, Donna, what do you think?

Donna: I’m thinking about accepting the offer from Backwoods Hospital.
