Perhaps Rivalry was too strong a word.

Nope, not really, but thanks for the effort.

Surprisingly enough, I had gathered that Sr. and Jr. utilized

different techniques, protocols and styles by doing a `little'

research before undergoing my Photoderm treatments and considering

Fotofacial. I figured that was why one was called " Photofacial " and

the other " Fotofacial " , and why one was endorsed and patented by Sr.

and the other by Jr.

As someone who was nurtured in the bosom of a family that positively

wallows in the Health Sciences, It is my opinion that most people do

not ask enough questions of their health practitioners, and that

there is very little that is `inappropriate' or `none of my business'

when it comes to questioning the person into whose well-paid hands I

have placed my bodily well-being and trust.

If the differences between Jr. and Sr. spring from the fact that Sr.

kicked Jr.'s puppy twenty years ago, and they are consequently

estranged, than that is truly none of my business and I shouldn't

give a flying fig.

However, (and I feel like the following is a more likely scenario),

if their differences arise from conflicting opinions regarding

machine settings, techniques, or any one of many treatment-related

variables, than I would like to have the opportunity to explore the

reasoning behind each doctor's opinions and medical prejudices (if

any exist.)

BTW, the " you " in my " Rivalry " post was a " universal `you' " and was

not directed at any one person, so if anyone out there would like to

e-mail me with any relevant info or " dish " ( " …Yeah, I heard somewhere

that someone had read that he kicked a puppy! " ) please feel free to

do so—I enjoy hearing from you all.

Hope I didn't come off as too dry and ironic—jail time will do that

to a gal!
