I know the man well a I was a patient of his when he was a Colonel in the Army Medical Corps. Even today I would trust him to make the right decision about my wellbeing.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-72701918477001284482012-08-18T02:24:07.846+01:002012-08-18T02:24:07.846+01:00The sad thing in these cases is that if either man...The sad thing in these cases is that if either man had the physical ability to stick a needle into themselves then there would be no protest Dioclese.
