Hi Dee yes the Barrow people were very disappointing to say the least, although I never did meet Dr. Shill. It's probably all for the best though. The people at AZ Medical Clinic surprised me by being very friendly and accommodating. When I commented on it to them, one gal said that the people at Barrow are "tight-assed, rude and snobbish." AZ Medical Clinic is only 7 miles from home and I can drive it. Proximity to home is really important and if I have to have brain surgery again I suppose I could always go to the Barrow. Their PD survey data base left much to be desired.
