Hi Everyone,<br /><br />I had a fairly quiet day at work...with Friday being a holiday, it was my only day in the office this week.  Of course, I&#39;m on call starting at 9A Friday morning until 9A Monday&#33;  Let&#39;s hope people have fun this 4th of July with molesting children&#33;<br /><br />I talked to my youngest who is now in Buenos Aires.  They saw their first patient yesterday in a town of 50,000.  He was so impressed with the man&#39;s physician, an oncologist, who he said seems to be revered by everyone.  Jeremy and his boss had dinner with the doc and Mrs. Doc last evening.  He was telling them that he didn&#39;t have a cell phone.  &quot;I don&#39;t need it...everyone knows where I live and, if they need me, they just come knock on my door.&quot;  Jeremy said that, during the five hours the patient was getting the IV cancer drug, the doctor would come in a pat his patient on the shoulder from time to time and ask how he was doing, if he needed something to eat or drink.  Of course, there were nurses but this doctor just seemed to really care about his patient.  Jeremy was most impressed.<br />That&#39;s my idea of managed care&#33;<br /><br />Mary Lou, hope those shingles run their course soon.  Seems like it&#39;s about time.<br /><br />Tonia, are they allowing fire works down there in San Diego?  Most of our area is not...we&#39;ll have to watch some other part of the country via television.<br /><br />I&#39;m ready for bed, already, and it isn&#39;t even 10PM.  Gad, I&#39;m getting old&#33;<br /><br />Ciao for now.<br /><br />Carmen<br />
