I had forgotten about that one, but I do believe you are correct.

There are so many errors that happen in all fields but in medicine some

of them are criminal. Wasn't there one recently where the dr left and went

to the bank

during a procedure?

My current Dr looks to be about 15, I refer to him as Dogie Howser, LOL.

He called last week because I decided not to take a med he had prescribed.

I told him he chose this med because the pharmaceutical rep had been there

that day and gave him the contest rules for a Carribean vacation and that was

not reason enough for me to take it. (I am sure there was more truth in that

off handed remark than I want to know.)
