Re: Telephone Consultations...

April 30, 2000

Hi ,

I had MGB 3/20/00 and prior to that I asked Dr. Ruthledge (online) if the

phone coversations were still necessary. He said they were optional and it

was up to me. I think you should know that although I may have been one that

said Dr R didn't spend much time with me at clinic, it probably was due to

the fact that I didn't have many questions. From what I understrand, he will

spend as much time as necessary with each person until you have exhausted all

your questions or him. LOL

Hi ,

I was in clinic yesterday and nothing was said about having 2 phone

consultations but I can honestly say there was no feeling of being

rushed on my part. Everyone had the opportunity to ask group

questions and also when I saw Dr. R. privately he did not give me the

idea that he was at all rushed. He is just so layed back!! If you

have questions I'm sure he will be glad to answer them. Marie
