Mike,

Some of us here are patirnt's at Shands.........I am awaiting a double TX from

there. I have been with them since 11/07 and have found them very knowleagable,

caring and compassionate and have always had good medical service from them. I

am sure you will hear from others, but I do not hesitate in telling you I think

it is a wonderful plce.
