No apologies needed Kirk. I rather enjoy your command of the language as it reflects to continued use of at least 6-8 more years in the ivy halls of a higher education facility than I had the ability to do 60+ years ago. My health was a disaster then, I spent a good decade with sinus headaches that were literally blinding about 10% of the time. The local Osteo filled me up with penn and made me deadly allergic to it, trying to kill what he must have thought was an infection, but it took me moving to the other end of the state & changing Doctors to find I was allergic to milk! But by then it was way too late to restart high school at the 9th grade & my parents certainly didn't have the where-with-all to even think about financing a degree effort. Those who aren't interested in my health records can hit the plus key for the next message now. Penn has tried to kill me a couple times since, but didn't quite succeed. One Doctor, who ignored the notes on my chart, did live to regret that little detail once my broken rib had healed, one that was broken by my wife's literally beating on my chest to keep me going when I went into fibrillation. It worked, I came to with a broken rib though. Yes, that was Annie, and I still miss that girl. That was a case of not only getting mad because that idiot tried to kill me, I also got even. Already tired of being sued for malpractice, I think he had 3 suits pending at the time, I dared him to call the law. He, nor his receptionist ever reached for the phone. He did redecorate the office after I was done, but the AMA eventually said enough was enough & he 'disappeared'. The medical profession was better off. And the exercise did me good. I got back in the car with a VBG, and kissed the wife well enough she knew she had been kissed. ;) The milk allergy eventually went away, to be replaced by turkey, then pork, then chicken for a few years each, and I have been off chicken again now for about 3 years. I have since had a run in with the ER doctors at the local horsepistol, over sloppy note keeping, they tried to kill Dee by giving her some beta- penn after her breaking out in the by now familiar rash they had to give her something for (steroids maybe, dunno) that should have resulted in big red NO PENN marks at the top of every page of her records, but to get it there after the 2nd session in a year, I had to get their attention, in this case by laying my billfold on the counter and inviting them to take note of the CWP it was opened to show, and advised them that they were dealing with an asshole who would use it the next time they gave her any penn by any name. The red magic marker came out and the chart was marked. No more problem. Yeah, I can be one of 'those types' occasionally. I'm not proud of it, but what else can you do to 'get' their attention. :( I expect there are some on any mailing list who can tell similar stories. You don't get to be my age without a 'war' story or 3 to tell. :) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
