brice THANK-YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING INTREST. IT WAS LIKE A BREATH OF FREASH AIR IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. SOMETHIMES WHEN A PERSON HAS A SEVERE DISABILITY IT'S VERY EASY FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO IGNORE WHAT THEY SEE AND FEEL. AND EASY FOR THEM TO ACT LIKE THEY DON'T CARE! ONCE AGAIN I THANK- YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BE HONEST! ROBERT PORTEOUS.

Robert, do you have support from family?  If you do, get them to join your search in finding another doc!!!  There are good ones and quacks, and it aint a good thing to be some quacks science experiment without consent.  I urge you to keep looking form another doc, but I dont have an avenue for you to follow.  Keep in touch.
