Thanks, ladies! I'm thinking "because the patient is a sook" may not be quite what Charm was expecting as an answer to his original question. But, I suppose it could be a valid reason!

I admire anyone who gets a DX for OC and manages to stay sane. I'd be a sook, for sure.

I'm just learning Strine and Kiwese, so thanks for cluing me in. Jeanna has taken me on as a student. Brave woman!

Anne-Marie--hahahaha! I'm pleasantly shocked!!!
