DAWN Dr Tick

[Guest guest]

Dawn,

I am not too worried about the letter. For now I am using my letter from my

gp rfrom 1999,

I know that in an emergency he will come thru like when my son had his

stroke like episode in November and could not remember his cats names or how

to play his gameboy. I called him on his pager at 7:15 in the morning and

he called back in 10 minutes. He was at a hearing in Cincinnati but

suggested if things did not get better to take him to the emergency roon and

give them his number. Turns out went back to sleep and by noon he was

his 11 year old self again, not a 2 or 3 year old. But, while we were at

school at 3:30 getting his homework Dr Tick called and left a message to see

how was doing.

So, I forgot to call today, but I found out last week that Friday is

" paperwork " day for him now. I know he also comes up to Green Bay every

other Thursday to work with heart patients at Green Bay Heart Care.

So, you were probably the patient he was in the middle of seeing when he was

evidently there alone at around 1:40 on Tuesday. I was on my lunch hour and

let the phone ring off the hook. He answered it and said he was in the

middle of something could he call me back in 15-20 minutes. I had to leave

my car and cell phone so I called back at around 2:10 and his wife was there

then and said she thought he had taken care of it but would remind him. So,

I will call tomorrow morning to remind him again.

Talk to you later,

Janet
