Re: computer literacy & doctors I don't know if I would first judge a doctor by computer literacy or if I would just check his/her ears and find out if they were blocked or led to an open mind. My frustration has been as much with neurologists who "know" my symptoms before I arrive and therefore have no need to listen to a word that I say. Or, have preconceived diagnosis or treatment and refuse to look at problems from several angles. In neither circumstance would computer literacy be a beneficial skill. I want to be seen as a person with a disease, with a variety of symptoms and responses who needs to be treated. I don't want to be another number on a chart for another trial for another theory for another grant proposal. Rita Weeks Rita Weeks
