I don't think anyone (excluding hypochondriacs of course) really likes
going to the doctors. We're all a facsimile of a child who needs a
little lolly pop reassurance.
Last July, I was in a car wreck, those Dr.s saved my leg and my life.
Everyday I thank God for Dr. Morris. Previous to his arrival at the
hospital, the on duty Dr. was simply going to remove my leg. We'll,
I'm walking know.
I was given a lot of perscriptions, that I find unnecessary and do not
take. However I personally am aware of this particluar situation, was
in my medical benefit. That is not to say that I haven't have negative
or mis-diagnosed experiences with the medical field in the past or
that I haven't passing away hours of my day in a waiting room. I have.
Like every aspect of life, they are people, and we don't have all the
answers. There have been some Dr.s that I would never see again, and
then there are the ones like Dr. Morris.
