interesting, too, because they were rude in different ways than in

the U.S. I do think there are differences in culture between (at

least the Parisian) French and people in the US, and I think some

people might mistake the French reserve for rudeness, and their

(sometimes) formal ways of speaking and acting as rude. Since I was

aware of that before I went, I found the French charming.

with CFS/ME, because of the metro. Also, she had a dizzy spell in

her apartment in Paris, fell and cut her head on the corner of her

coffee table; her next-door neighbor (an opera singer) heard her

cries and came and called a doctor who made a house call. This

would be unheard-of in the US--Doctors just do not make house calls

here.

Hi ,

No Doctor House Calls are not unheard of in the US, they might be

making a comeback in some areas, see www.door2doordrs.com

Thanks, Al. If there is a revival of house calls in the US, that would certainly be good news. (When I tried to reach the website you gave, I was redirected to another site about doctors, but having nothing to do with house calls or 'door to door.' )

Yes, Penny, yes! Let's both get rid of the DD's and go rent an apartment in Paris (or southern France)! That would suit me just right!
