Thanks, Donna! (post re brain and amygdala etc)

[Guest guest]

Donna, thank you for this very informationative post! I have learned a lot. I

hope you will post more often, you have so much to share with us. It's hard to

struggle along just trying to guess at things because doctors don't take the

time to explain.

I heard something on TV the other day that said that if a doctor spends more

than 15 minutes with a patient, he/she is losing money.

So sad!

Donna, the story about the fish in the fMRI is hysterical! And, I'm not

surprised!

Thanks again!
