I just love you to death, Blueduck! Your answer was right on.
yes, my Daddy is still around and I treasure every moment I have with him. Unfortunately, both he and my sister trust their doctors and still do everything they say. They listen to me and agree with me, but that's about it.... I agree about the lawsuits. Someday people will begin doing that more and more and we will see the end of the "doctor ruling era."
