I have asked our daughter to come with me for my leak test. I have

heard so much about how uncaring the radiologist is at Fairfax

Hospital that I am afraid that if I am in a weakened condition and

feeling threatened, I might just haul off and try to belt the guy if

he gets as pushy with me as he has been reported to have been with

others. So, I asked our daughter to run interference for me to keep

me from doing something that I might regret. I don't know why, after

lots of complaints, they cannot get the radiologists to be more

humane.

I wanted to make the support group, but the magnesium citrate would

not cooperate. My DS is tomorrow AM. I am hoping for a recovery as

smooth as all of Dr.E.'s other recent patients. When you speak with

Bobbi-jo tomorrow, please give her my congratulations.

Best,
