>>SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC, EXCEPT FOR "AWESOME"<< Janice, Sounds like that doc needs to join some SI Anonymous group and take the cure. When I'm at work, I'm at work. My job is like being the pilot of a jetliner with lots of folks on board for whom you are responsible, who have placed themselves in your hands. To betray that trust in any way is to take advantage of someone's innocence, the equivalent of child abuse, in my view. That is an awsome responsibility (I use awesome in its true sense, not as in the modern usage, e.g. "That's an awesome sandwich you got.") So, I focus on the day job until I get home and play with this stuff. Would you want Byron taking care of you? Don't mean to be sanctimonious or get on the soapbox, but I've watched as undesirable changes have occurred in my profession (which designation is less and less appropriate as time passes); I'll address these when I do the "Health Care Essay" which I've promised Christine on the Feelings Thread.
