I was actually responding to Brett, who talked a bit about medical understaffing at larger hospitals and how he had to ask for certain things at one of the bigger and better centers. I was saying how I felt like I got more personalized treatment from just as qualified doctors right here at home. Why I didn't type it exactly this way the first time will remain a mystery.........chalk it up to trying to do to many things at once on this wonderful evening in Va. Beach. I'm with you, I didn't need all that some centers have to offer. Minnie
