I, to, am an ~~exceptionally intelligent ~~ womanand fought Dr. P's hoops tooth

and nail, including the expensive

Well, maybe the **Doctor**, Emma the Great, Hoops Mistress of the Universe and

unashamed paper pusher

years of medical training, while ~I~ have

the Internet at my fingers to learn*everything* off of...

Obviously superior intelligence, or was that highly intelligent? does not

always make a superior individual
