Some of 'em wouldn't let me touch their machines until I *proved* to them that I was right first... :-) I can only imagine how doctors feel. Mark: I would love to have a huge book I can barely lift that would tell me everything. Except that such a book is probably not advisable for a guy with a hernia! So I use the Internet, with extreme caution due to all the people with no knowledge who believe they know everything. --Peter On Thu, Dec 25, 2014 at 10:06 PM, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> wrote: > I also never see a doc without goggling my disease of the month first so > she > knows I have something resembling an informed opinion that I think I have. > Sometimes I really do.
