[AT] Re: Munching, Crunching & a Rant

[Allen V. Pruehs]

Sounds like my wife's EX-cardiologist. In his last action yesterday he 
called during luch and proceeded to eat it in my ear during which he blamed 
his mistakes, lack of basic human decency and compassion on my wife. He 
effectively called my wife a liar by saying she hadn't broken out in hives 
because of an allergic reation to one of his tests, which he was told about 
multiple times ahead of time.  When he found out he was wrong - called to 
"set the record" straight but never apologized. The full story would take 
fifteen minutes to tell. I would have chalked it up to being absurd if we 
hadn't just gone through it.


Sorry for venting, my wife had a heart attach last Friday. She has been 
diagnosed with diabetes for the first time, despite numerous blood tests 
over the years including a ton of them a year ago. She is scheduled for 
bypass surgery on Friday morning and I am so stressed out it isn't funny. 
If any one has room in their prayers or a positive thought for her tomorrow 
it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
