hi jerry

way back on sunday, you wrote:

this kind of slipped by me when i first read your message
now that i'm paying attention to it
i find it quite a disturbing statistic
[that is, if you are referring to prescription drugs]

all the more reason for us parkies to be our own best advocates?

as a past 'victim' of 'too many specialists spoiling the broth'
[maybe carrying my chemical soup analogy a tad beyond reason]
i've always thought the co-op approach was the most sensible
i believe the mayo clinic deals with patients on a 'team-basis'

it seems to me that the teaching hospitals
[mentioned in the news article i just posted]
have better 'patient outcomes'
because they also emphasize cooperation for the benefit of the patient
what a concept ...


your syber-sis
