another place we disagree, from the time i was five, we would go to the
specialist, then after my parents understood what the next experiment would
be, mom would say, now explain it to her... the first doc was great at this,
when he took a partener as he aged, he balked, my mom called th older one
in, said, if she doesn't understand it in her way then it won't get done or
we will find a doctor who will be able to explain itt, that day, i was
seven, dr. isreal explained it to me, next visit, new doc was just fine at
explaining, Lee
