Steve,

Was the doctor really HELPING his patients--I thought that was impossible.

Just making a point, I actually loved your story, thanks for sharing it,

Eddie,

You are welcome, glad you liked it. As far as the Doctor helping

patients, that was an exellent point. Thank you for your help!

I am not sure now if the Doc ever claimed to have " helped " anyone?
