I admit it, I’m sometimes jealous of my grandmother’s generation. This is an odd statement coming from a woman who uses technology to the fullest and shutters at the thought of a day without a hairdryer!

Living on the Lower East Side for now what amounts to five generations, I can clearly see that times have changed. Starbucks stands where the shoe repair store used to, a store selling New York novelty items has replaced the soda shop my mom used to frequent, and a store selling movie posters has replaced our old barber shop which serviced every generation of men in my family since they arrived from Ellis Island. Yes, folks, times have changed, but thinking about the simple luxuries that my grandmother had occasionally makes me jealous.

One of the things that make me most envious is such a simple one. Doctors visits. As as full time mom with little to no help, getting babies/toddler/school age kids to the doc is a pain in the butt. I can recall my mom telling us stories their childhood doctor who used to come to their apartment when one of her siblings or cousins were sick. A doctor making house calls, who does that anymore? It’s simple touches like that, which make me long for a simpler time.

So imagine my surprise when I recently received an email from Dr. Edward Kulich, a Board Certified Pediatrician who specializes in HOUSE CALLS! What? Who knew this service even existed anymore, but more importantly, where was he when I was taking my healthy twin to the doctor so the sick one could be seen. Now I don’t have to worry about that anymore. More
