I agree with you 100%. If he had brought even ONE fact to the

table with him, in support of the several claims he made that

the MGB was " bad " or a " procedure to not do, " then I would have

researched his facts. But he didn't bring any facts. He just

kept making claims that there was " universal agreement " by " all "

doctors that the MGB was bad (when he obviously can't know

what " all " doctors think and when some doctors have had the

MGB and obviously *don't* agree!)
