(Photo of Tomie with Dr. Clifford Levy and his family at the Currier Museum of Art. Dr. Levy practices at Concord Orthopaedics. The photo is only related to the story in that Dr. Levy operates at Concord Hospital.) A short story that is tangential to yesterday’s story of NEW HAMPSHIRE HOME magazine. Tomie was admitted to Concord Hospital for a reason I don’t recall. Tomie was greeted the next morning by an LPN although I think LPNs there are called something else. She led with, “What nursing home are you from?” He said he was taken aback for a moment but explained that he lived in his own home. I was appalled after he told me about the exchange. He was amused. I wanted to bring copies of Tomie’s issue of NEW HAMPSHIRE HOME to his room to subtly place on every surface. I do hope that nurse has come up with a better leading line.
