When I have required medical aid I was looking for advice and expertise, not argument. These are different things. Coincidentally though I have had occassion to dispute medically inaccurate opinon because of my superior knowledge of my own physique - an example being an occassion I knew I had broken (albeit only a slight fracture) a bone rather than simply sprained a joint and insisted on a x-ray that was deemed unnecesary. Which is beside the point - expert advice and professional service is a different issue to explanation and coercion by argument. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
