There is nothing I appreciate more than a physician doing the right and proper thing!<BR/><BR/>(One time I remember going in to get checked for strep and I did not have it. The poor doctor told me I just had a virus and he seemed to think I would get upset about not being able to get any medication. I told him "thank you" so much to combat his fear, because I was so glad he did not give in to public pressures on my diagnosis. It does not do anyone any good to abuse antibiotics!)Nestor Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137268699982076705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-67142493652431366092008-09-22T19:18:00.000+10:002008-09-22T19:18:00.000+10:00Jellyhead,You did the right thing Doctor.But since...Jellyhead,<BR/>You did the right thing Doctor.<BR/>But since you're experiencing a wee twinge of guilt, would you mind faxing me a certificate for the next couple of days so that I can help my wife with the moving home from the cottage.
