That, Peter, begs for some elaboration. Do you like the name just for its melifluousness, or because you like the connotions of “September” or (I hope not) “Ralph” in connection with doctoring? If you were writing a screenplay, what kind of guy would Dr. Ralph September be?

It makes me think of a Jonathan Franzen character.

Hmm. I guess I can kind of see that. Maybe somebody who would look at Chip through a cold, clinical and hence unsympathetic eye, which Chip would sense with a resentment that would take ten or twelve pages to express?

Julia’s concerns about the throbbing pain finally got the best of her. She hopped in her jalopy, and headed for the medical clinic. After a brief wait in the anteroom, she was ushered into a the doctor’s office. From behind the desk rose a square-jawed Adonis. “I’m Dr. September,” he said, “Dr. Ralph September”
“Shit,” she thought, “this is
“Shit,” she thought, “this is the guy who Chip tried to run over with his car.” She hoped he wouldn’t connect the two of them. Julia made a mental note to sepak to Chip again about this vendetta. Somehow from Chip’s description of the doctor she hadn’t pictured him as quite so good looking.

Raplh: Honey, look at this website - they have made a mockey of my name!
Mrs. September: There, there, honey, it’s not like you getting a short-term job is in the news or anything…

Dr. September had operated on
Dr. September had operated on Chips shoulder…specifically his rotator-cuff. Chip and Dusty were to be the first brothers to be starting infielders with a major league baseball team.
