Rob: Thanks for restoring the old spam filter.

It may well not be illegal to drive barefoot in the USA, but it is in the UK, since you are deemed to "not be in control of the vehicle". Point of order folks!

Over and over again because a) he is good b) we know and trust HIM c) nobody else was around to synthesize all of the weird specialist tests and reports... and guess what? Nobody told him ANYTHING. Nope. Nothing forwarded, he had to log in to read stuff but their medical records computer systems (between hospital and specialty clinics and HMO) weren't compatible and he couldn't get all of the reports, yadda yadda. Y'all oughtta use ONE system with one login. Or have one primary "database" for medical records. ps physician hierarchy is screwball. EVERYONE seemed intimidated by the neurosurgeon -- sorry, but as a parent our HMO pediatrician is WAY more important hugs and thanx for blogging and kudos to all primary care docs! Hey Dr. Rob,

I can babysit Zippy while you're at the conference. :) I'm certainly "dull and boring" enough to want to attend, but over-committed enough not to be able to. I'm training to be a Red Cross volunteer this Saturday. :) Well, Nova Scotians are partial to lobsters, you understand.
