Richard was the firstborn of the Symington family . As new parents, Ron and Lynn were forced to experiment with their offspring, going through a period of trial and error. Unsure of just what to do, they pampered Richard. Firstborns tend to become leaders, more than likely because of the role they accede to as the eldest sibling.
It is also not too difficult to understand how the firstborn ultimately becomes controlling. They have an undeniable position as the eldest sibling. Parents look to them for help with the second and subsequent additions to the family. Growing up in this position of unfettered support, firstborns are prone to becoming leaders at school and eventually become very successful at their chosen profession.
Middle children are inclined to be what their name implies; siblings stuck in between an older and a younger brother or sister. Their lives often reflect this position; quite often they are over-active, rebellious, and crowd pleasers.
Wilson’s life mirrored this classic definition of the middle child. His older brother Richard bullied him for most of their life together. Being caught betwixt-and-between for most of his childhood, the only respite he had was the birth of his baby sister Margaret. He immediately identified with Margaret as an opportunity to be superior to someone or something.
As soon as she could walk, Margaret, the lastborn, found life to be freer than her predecessors. Her parents assumed that raising the first two made them savvy. They expected the older siblings to play a moderate role in raising the child. In reality, Richard, the eldest, resented the unwanted role as babysitter and did everything in his power to sidestep the responsibility; usually by passing it on to Wilson, who readily accepted it as an opportunity to bond with the newcomer and give his life some meaning in the familial structure. The support of Wilson served to strengthen her position in the family.
Margaret played her role as lastborn with alacrity and a bit of impishness. Early on she was aware of the extra attention Wilson paid her and that, combined with being Daddy’s little girl, was all she needed to feel at home in the Symington household.
Maggie was popular in school and a good student. She was part of the right crowd and was active in school programs. She volunteered for neighborhood, political, and church activities, where she could be the center of attention.

Monday at the Symington Medical Center—8:45 a.m.
“Are you sure about these figures, Pete?” he asked as he went through the numbers.
“As sure as I can be. I can certify the October numbers and the estimates for November for most of the practices. Their billings are mostly tied to private and government insurance payments which, even though they have a built-in delay, come in like clockwork. Family Medicine and Podiatry both have their private payment plans and they tell me many of their patients are behind in their payments and are asking for more time to pay.”
The Symington Medical Center occupied a three story building in the center of town. The twelve medical disciplines represented included Cardiology, Family Medicine, Gastroenterology, Internal Medicine, Neurology, ENT, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Oncology & Hematology, Pediatrics, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Pulmonology, and Rheumatology. They represented a group of highly qualified, Board-certified medical physicians and specialists, each recognized in their area of expertise. Most offered same day appointments, evening, and Saturday hours.
On the first day of a calendar quarter, each of the practices paid a percentage of their revenues to Symington Medical Center, Inc. The upcoming payment deadline, January 1, was the subject of this meeting being held between Dr. Ronald Symington and Dr. Peter Mickelson, a pediatrician by trade, Ron’s original partner, and the Center’s accountant and general
