Just thought I would add a couple of comments concerning the question of doctors vs lay persons, etc. It has been my experience that some doctors, while having much information at hand, are not skilled at communicating with people who really need practical information not just medical terminology. I haven't been on this group discussion long but I am impressed with the wording of the comments. I have a phd in curriculum but medical jargon is not always easy for me to understand. As a child concerned about his parent I find the support and responses to my questions very reassuring and easy to understand. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of it. Joe Huskey.
