Susan, I also may show up thats why I asked for the specifics.
As far as phone calls go, the big picture is much more complicated than anyone knows. Now we are talking about my line of work. Just think about publishing phone numbers. It would need to be an 800#, with many extensions. With so many different types of oral cancer there would need to have a routing system to try to ensure people get correct info. Not to even mention the legalities involved. Basically it would end up being a call center with people manning the phones who have brochures they read from. The reps would be very well versed with empathy and need to know tons of medical info. Its a nice idea but unlikely it could be practical. Its much better to make friends here and then exchange numbers if you want.
