Re: To Savannah chick re: Boston Doc

[Guest guest]

Hi Sorry you had such a short visit. This doc in Boston at Harvard. What was

his name? it would save a lot of people long trips, if we knew. I've been on

a trip for 8 days and just got back to the computer. Had 250+ e:mails to read.

Just getting to yours. Thanks Dolores

I went to a rheumatologist at Harvard. He is known to have worked with mino for

years.

His offer was mtx and I was the one who suggested mino. He said okay but it

would take

longer. Anyway he only spent 5 minutes with me. He was in/out and " see you in

four

months! "

I live in Savannah, Ga. Is there any doc you might know of who can help me?
