Barb, I don't think Bob is still one the list. She is at Scott and White in Temple Texas. What is Bobs last name? I need to ask about the medication I am taking , sometime they take it and some times they don't. Strange, but true. My blood is O- and can be given in a pinch to anyone, but some banks don't like the meds. Every one can ask and red cross and they will tell you about the meds. Nita Barb_MSN wrote: > Bob....
